[Wylug-help] Solicited sales email distribution - advice needed

[Callum Massey]

I can't recommend mailman enough for this kind of thing, it is really 
quite simple to set up and has a nice web interface anyone can use, you 
can set it up so all he needs to do is send an email to the address and 
it will do all the forwarding for you. The best part of course is that 
it is free.
