I'd still recommend Majordomo but if starting from scratch, I'd seriously take a look at a modern mailing list server program, Mailman.
Majordomo is free, includes source code (Perl) but I believe is not Open Source.
Mailman is free and Open Source written in Python.
There's a whole universe of mailing list software that costs $$$ but I've never found the need to venture in that direction.
