Here is a possibility you might consider.

Get a fairly substantial PC.  P-II or III, 400 mHz or so with 2 good
sized hard drives.  Add a tape backup unit.  Install WinNT (or win2k) on
it.  You will want firewall software also.

Go to Lsoft and either buy a copy of Listserv or get the free Listserv
Lite (if lite will handle your needs).  You may also need LSMTP.

Get an ASDL internet connection and a domain name.  There is a service
you can use that will be your DNS and will change your IP address in the
DNS tables on demand (needed if your IP address is dynamic).  Make sure
your ASDL ISP doesn't prohibit servers.  (If you are not in an area
where you can get ASDL, you could look at a cable modem, but they often
forbid running a server).

Set it up and install the list on the server.
