Mailman seems to be the most popular choice nowadays.  I think it's a
good balance of features and performance, but I've heard majordomo
absolutely trounces mailman on pure performance.  Can't attest to
that personally.

However, with such a simple list as what you're considering, you may
want to consider minimalist.  It's just a single perl script, so no
messy python dependencies or anything.  It's mailing list database is
also human-readible, so you can prune or add to lists with a text
editor.

I've been using minimalist for a while.  It integrates with the MTA
through aliases, so it should integrate with any unix MTA out there
(even sendmail :)
