Hija....
I simply went for the big one and setup a listserv, even though I only mail to
about 10 people. It took me about 2 hours to get it running, and I get what
is a rather professional result.

I use listserv5.5, the latest version. Use archie and get yourself a copy if
interested. I'd be happy to help if you need it.
