Hi, |

first of all, you might want to now that this list gets five mails per |
| 4 |
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 |
| 16 |
foo@××××××××.in will be delivered to your IP. Then you need a Mail |
| 17 |
Transfer Agent like Exim or postfix, and if you want more than a simple |
| 18 |
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 |
| 21 |
happy with it - mail list admins can administer their MLs without |
| 22 |
handholding from Sys-Admins via a web interface, you get automatic |
| 23 |
archives, sensible behavior and reliability. But if all you want is a |
| 24 |
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. |
