The fact that I really don't trust Google is a prime reason I'm currently working on getting a Ubuntu VM up at home, so that I can install Zimbra. It does IMAP/Calendar/Stuff for me, and if I can get my friends on it, we can all share our calendars and know exactly who has access to them...
...but it's not big enough for the world.
Mailing list software is really, really not for the faint of heart. Personally, I use sympa, but that's mostly because it'll do LDAP-auth, which I always think is a good thing. "Here, let me get your password set up such that you don't have to remember each and every password for each and every list...it's just the same one you use over at [thingy]." If I could figure out how to tie it to openID, so much the better.
But sympa's even more heavyweight than mailman - it requires a mysql backend.
