Why doesn't this server serve your purposes?

http://tbinet.org/
http://www.lsoft.com/scripts/wl.exe?XH=LISTSERV.TBINET.ORG

Otheriwse, setting up a list should not involve acquiring a server, and running all of the attendent system processes, especially if you only have "small" requirements.  You could acquire the services of a virtual list host.

Or perhaps I'm missing something?
