<p>I'm looking for a dead simple mailing list (unix friendly). Robustness, fine-grained configurability, "enterprise-readiness" (whatever that means) are not requirements. I just need to set up a tiny mailing list for a few friends. Rather than hack something up myself, I was wondering if anybody knows of anything already out there with a similar goal? </p>

<p>I should note right now that I <strong>don't</strong> want an externally hosted mailing list -- it needs to be software I can install and run on my server. I know of many places I can host a mailing list at (Google/Yahoo groups), but it would be nice to keep the data local.</p>

Just create an entry in <code>/etc/aliases</code> such as:</p>\n\n<pre><code>mylist: me@somedomain.com, myfriend@somedomain.com, \\\n  myotherfriend@differentdomain.com\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>and then run <code>newaliases</code>.  It doesn't get much simpler than that.  If you want an archive you can create a dummy account on your mail server and add them to the list.</p>\n\n<p>It's not as user friendly as Mailman but it's simple and you can be up and running in 5 minutes.</p>\n"}, {'answer_id': 34776317, 'author': 'hbit', 'author_id': 501810, 'author_profile': 'https://Stackoverflow.com/users/501810', 'pm_score': 0, 'selected': False, 'text': '<p>If you want something easy to setup, with a user interface on top then I would recommend to check out <a href="https://wpmailster.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">WP Mailster</a> (WordPress plugin) or <a href="https://www.brandt-oss.com/mailster" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Mailster</a> (Joomla plugin).</p>\n\n<p>No matter which of the two CMS you prefer, you will only need 5 minutes to have a "naked" WordPress or Joomla and the plugin installed.</p>\n\n<p>It really works well and is easy to use.
