Ok I am want serve my own mailing list. I have the basic hardware.

Server running windows XP PRO
AMD 2000+ CPU
1.5 gig of DDR ram
Multiple hard drives.
My Own Domain Name
Static IP. (Has not changed in 6 months)
7Mb always on cable internet connection.
Apache Web Server
Servu FTP Server
Back Up UPS for the cable modem and server and router


I have never touched a mailing list program in my life.

Stuff that I would like it to have.

Subscricption / unsubscription page

Ability for me to add or remove people from the list
GUI I want a GUI I know text interfaces are faster and better but I like a good Grapical User Interface. I find them much easier to use.

Last and most importantly must be user friendly.


I am a total newbee to mailing lists. I am pretty much a newbee to setting up network style software. Apache usually takes me a day of tweaking just to get it working the way I want.
I like Serv-U for its GUI and relative ease of use.

Now you guys are just about the biggest bunch of geeks I know, so you should be able to look at what I have, what I want and give me some recomendations on where to start. This is going to be for my car club it wont be a high traffic list, maybe 15-30 messages a day.

So shoot me some suggestions, and you better believe I will be comming back here asking for help in setup.
