Mailman

Mailman is free software for managing electronic mail discussion and e-newsletter lists.

Mailman is integrated with the web, making it easy for users to manage their accounts and for list owners to administer their lists. Mailman supports built-in archiving, automatic bounce processing, content filtering, digest delivery, spam filters, and more.

Mailman is written primarily in Python. Mailman's web and email user interface should be compatible with just about any mail reader or web browser, although a mail reader that is MIME aware will be beneficial.  You do not need Java, JavaScript, or any other fancy plugins.
