Off the top of my head, you could try mlmmj. It's a modern codebase (the 
current release was made mid-2012) and IIRC, is supposed to emulate (or 
at least is inspired by) ezmlm.

Ports might lag behind one version (but should be trivial to bring 
up-to-date).

NOTE: I haven't tried it myself, just going off memory.
