I received new answers so here is a new summary for mail list servers.
The original question :

Now, the complement :
Special thanks to Daryl Campbell <daryl@cs.athabascau.ca> and Roy Ramberg <roy@read-well.no>
Thanks to Pamela Pledger <pamela@jupiter.Legato.COM>, Alex Pokras <pkrs@isg.co.il>
They indicate procmail/smartlist, a simple and powerful mail processor (K&R C).
I tried procmail after majordomo, and it seems more simple to just create a little file server.
If you add smartlist, you will be able to manage mail lists too.
Here are some ftp sites :
