You have several choices.
The simplest is simply to create a system alias. If you're running
sendmail then just change /usr/lib/aliases and run the "newaliases"
command. This is ok for small fairly static lists where it's no big
admin burden for the sysadmin to update the aliases file for new list
members.
Once you want more features (users can subscribe themselves, etc) you
need some software like
- majordomo
- ezmlm
- vmailmgr
Start looking at:

and go from there.

Show me a man with no fear, adn I'll show you a fool or a liar. Fear makes
you think. It keeps you on the edge. [...] If you let your fear take you
over, then you are stuffed. If you disregard it, you are equally stuffed.
