Can I use it for mailing lists? like MailChimp?
Yes, if all you want is a simple one way announcement type list, Mailman can do that quite well, with appropriate list configuration[1], but as I tried to say, MailChimp has many more features that are oriented towards that kind of mailing.
[1]There are many horror stories of people setting up a mailing list and subscribing a bunch of people to it without ensuring that members can't post back to the list.
Then with the first post, people start posting back to be removed and then others reply that they didn't send that mail and it snowballs and within an hower, the poor list server is so backlogged that the clueful replies take hours to be delivered. I personally have been added to more that one list to which this happened.
