Indeed, though not necessarily the best or the only one. We've been
deploying sites on nginx recently. It's an amazingly flexible, fast, and
lean web server. Especially in resource-constrained scenarios, like
small VPS accounts, nginx shines. We have clients hosting Ruby on Rails
or Django apps in their VPS with 128M of RAM using nginx. That wouldn't
be feasible with Apache.

Agreed. It's also very easy to script Mailman, for example, to add a
bunch of mailing lists and populate them with subscribers. Sure, you can
do that from the web interface but if you have to create 50 lists,
you're going to be pointing and clicking for a while and quite likely,
not setting up the lists in a repeatable way if you don't script the
process.
