I think ezmlm would fit fine. Personally, I prefer mailman (see wiki how to) for a nice gui interface. Mailman is probably overkill for a car club though.

I spent over an hour messing with mailman and almost had it set up and was reading about other lists and found Pommo. It took about 3 minutes to setup. I'll let you know how it works. Mailman may be powerful, but it's setup procedure sucks.
I had an opportunity to try out PoMMo in earnest last night and it works quite well. Integration with qmail was painless since it uses php mailer. It can also use Sendmail or relay. It uses MySQL database for subscriber management and easily imports/exports .csv lists. Subscriber update page managed, fields added and removed quickly and easily. Templates (html or text) same story.

It would be nice if anybody that currently uses Mailman or EZMLM could install PoMMo and give some feedback on weakness' or strength of their preferred installation.

It seems to suit my needs perfectly, but I don't know any better...

I finished my install of Mailman. I am not sure both programs do the same thing. Mailman appears to be a mailing list like this one, where you can have conversations, where PoMMo appears to be a newsletter "one way" type. Having not delved into Mailman too deeply yet, it may in fact accomplish that as well. PoMMo is certainly suited perfectly for what I'm doing and may be more powerful than it appears at first glance. It has some quirks that I would change or modify, but overall works fine.
