Hi,

first of all, you might want to now that this list gets five mails per 
year in average, so you might want to try your luck with gentoo-server.

Do you have MX records for your domain? This is needed so mails for 
foo@... will be delivered to your IP. Then you need a Mail 
Transfer Agent like Exim or postfix, and if you want more than a simple 
mailist with a few subscribers, a dedicated mailing list software.

We are using exim + MailMan for ca. 100 lists since 2005 and we are very 
happy with it - mail list admins can administer their MLs without 
handholding from Sys-Admins via a web interface, you get automatic 
archives, sensible behavior and reliability. But if all you want is a 
simple mail distribution for a few people a simple mail alias may be enough.

Search the Gentoo wiki for guides on how to set up a mail server.
