One package is called listserv and it is available via anonymous
ftp:

cs.bu.edu:/pub/listserv/listserv5.5.sh.Z

It appears to do all sorts of useful things: digests, moderated lists, etc.
It will probably require the cooperation of your system administrator to
get things installed and running.

I have also hearcd of 'almanac' and 'MajorDomo' (try using archie to
find 'em) but I don't know much about them.

Of course you could use procmail to filter your mail.
