Yes, there are better tools.  If all you want is one 'Newsletter' list,
they will serve you better, IMO.

There is a good FAQ on making a Mailman list do what you want.  It is
not hard and requires no hacking at all.  Just proper setting of
parameters available from the web interface(s).

You might consider finding a host that already supports lists, once you
decide on Mailman or an alternative.

Unless you really need the excitement of the technical administration,
sticking with the moderation/human issues may be the best solution.

I do this for folks.

Others that post here do as well.
