With this many subscribers I suggest you considering creating a sci.*
newsgroup, and gate the mailing list to that newsgroup.

To create a comp, humanities, misc, news, rec, sci, soc, or talk newsgroup:

A RFD (Request for Discussion) is presented to news.announce.newgroups
and discussion is held in news.groups. After a month of discussion a
CFV (Call for Votes) is issued. To win the proposal must have 100 more
YES votes than NO votes and two/thirds of the votes must be YES.
[To get help going through this newsgroup creation process, send email to 
group-mentors@acpub.duke.edu explaining exactly what the scope of your 
proposed group would be.  A member of group-mentors will send you the 
documents you need to read, and will help you select a name and write an RFD.]
                                                                
See the articles "How to Create a New Usenet Newsgroup" and "Usenet 
Newsgroup Creation Companion", in news.announce.newusers, news.answers, 
news.groups

If they're not there, they've probably expired at your site, and will 
be reposted later. They can be gotten by sending mail to
mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu, with a blank subject line, and with one or more
of the following commands in the message body: 

send usenet/news.groups/How_to_Create_a_New_Usenet_Newsgroup
send usenet/news.groups/Usenet_Newsgroup_Creation_Companion

You get them via anonymous ftp from rtfm.mit.edu.  The path names are as 
given above, but with "pub/" before "usenet". Frequently this site is
difficult to connect to because it's too busy.
