Mailing List

I'm in the process of redesigning the Q Fever! website, and need a good mailing list program. Our old one was a simple cgi script which seems woefully out of date now ... and, because of the way it sent out messages, it resulted in the entire account being suspended a couple of times due to "spam prevention."

Found this utility called phplist, which looks pretty good and should run on the Q's Linux server, and is best of all FREE, but it seems like it will be daunting to set up since it requires knowledge of MySQL databases and whatnot, and I haven't a clue about that shit.

Any of you have any other recommendations for a good Unix mailing list program?
