MajorCool (http://www.digitalmasters.com/digi/MajorCool)
Majordomo Web Interface (http://gaia.gutierrez.com/majordomo/)
Majordomo - WWW Gateway (http://www.inf.utfsm.cl/~marcos/majordomo/www.html)
WebDomo (http://www.pobox.com/p3/webdomo.cgi)
Pandora (already mentioned by Robb in this list)

MajorCool is mine, so I am biased. WebDomo is a service of POBox, but I
think they will also sell it standalone.

MajorCool (http://www.digitalmasters.com/digi/MajorCool)
LWGate (http://www.netspace.org/users/dwb/lwgate.html)
MailServ (http://iquest.com/~fitz/www/mailserv/)

LWGate and MailServ are "generic" -- they are designed to work with
Listserv, ListProc, Majordomo and others. They do not have direct access to
Majordomo files, and all they do is construct email messages on behalf of
the user. So you cannot "see" members of a list via Web -- you have the
interface request it for you, then get the results in mail as usual.

MajorCool (again, I am biased) is tied directly to Majordomo, so you can see
member lists, info files, etc online.

Pull-down lists may violate the no_advertise nature of some lists. MajorCool
will prevent this, not allowing access to a list until an email address has
been entered and verified for privilege.
