How about LISTSERV from L-Soft? Can I run that on a dedicated Windows Server
2003 Pentium 4 server that also has my website and IMail Server 8.11 running
on it?

since I didn't really understand everything they were talking about:
Listserv Software requirements
3. INBOUND MAIL: Either the SMTP "listener" service (SMTPL.EXE) provided
in the LISTSERV installation kit must be installed (which requires an
external host for the delivery of outbound mail), or L-Soft's LSMTP mailer
(a complete turnkey SMTP solution for LISTSERV) must be installed. L-Soft
does not support LISTSERV being installed under Windows NT/2000/XP with any
other SMTP mailer solution. This means that you categorically cannot
install LISTSERV on the same machine with Microsoft Exchange, the SMTP
"smart host" that comes with IIS, Metainfo Sendmail for NT, or any other
SMTP implementation. (While there is a solution for Software.Com's
Post.Office product, the solution is not supported by L-Soft.)
4. OUTBOUND MAIL: If you are not using L-Soft's LSMTP mailer, you will
need to have access to an external machine that can handle LISTSERV's
outbound mail. This machine can be a unix machine running Sendmail, an
Exchange server, or any fully-standards-compliant SMTP server running on any
platform, as long as it can handle the amount of traffic you will generate
with LISTSERV. The external machine must be configured to accept for
delivery so-called "relay mail" from the machine running LISTSERV (it may of
course otherwise be configured to reject "relay mail" coming from other
hosts).
PLEASE NOTE CAREFULLY that if you need a turnkey solution on a single
machine, you will have to purchase and install L-Soft's LSMTP mailer, which
is the only SMTP mail product for Windows NT/2000/XP that can co-exist on
the same Windows NT/2000/XP machine with LISTSERV.
