My home account is on a 4.3 BSD UNIX system.  I'd like to set up a mailing
list for use by myself and about twenty other people to discuss various
stuff we want to discuss.  Yet, I have no idea how to set this up.  I have
participated in mailing lists where you mail all posts to a userid at a
site and they go out to everyone, and if you reply to a mailing-list
message, your reply automatically goes out to everyone on the list. I use
elm to read and send mail, and would appreciate it if I could set up
a mailing list that wouldn't cause problems for elm.  

Is special software required to implement this?  I'd appreciate being sent
info if anyone out there has it.  Getting another userid created to run
the list wouldn't be a problem, I suspect, but I need to know what to do. :|
