Simple listserv tools?

[Patrice Chalon]

Hello,

By simple, do you mean "in the cloud" (you have no hosting server)?

Because Mailman seems to be a good option. Or alternatively, you could
think about some CMS providing forum with email notifications and simple
newsletters module (importing / creating users is easier there)
