Hi Mike -
I wrote something up about this subject on the evolt site a couple years
ago, and some of it might be relevant to you:
So you want your own mailing list?
http://evolt.org/article/thelist/18/464/index.html
As someone else mentioned, Mailman is nice, and what i'd recommend
instead of rolling your own.. http://www.list.org :)
Shout if you have any more questions :)
