Easiest way to set up a mailing list
What is the easiest way to set up a mailing list? The goal is to send an email to one address, and it gets automatically re-sent to everyone who is currently subscribed to that list.

Ideally, the solution should:

* Not require much technical expertise from the admin (no setting up your own mail server and configuring)
* Allow recipients to subscribe and unsubscribe on their own, without action needed from list admin
* Be able to handle a small number of recipients (less than 100-1000).
* Be a free service
* Not require creating onerous accounts (for example, Google phone verification, requiring street address, credit card on file, etc.) - accounts without too much information required are fine, piggybacking off an existing account (like Gmail) is also okay
* Some sort of anti-spam countermeasure is okay, but I'd like to avoid something excessive like solving a captcha for each message sent

The goal is not to spam people. I can't really prove this, but feel free to recommend solutions that would not work well for spamming.
