Need a freeware Mac app for running email lists.

I need a direct e-mail system which will take a list of (opt-in, I swear!) email addresses, send out html-email to them, and clean up the suscriber list for bounces. Any freeware apps to do this on a Mac?
Why not use a hosted thing like Yahoo groups or NotifyList?
Both are free and will handle all the user management for you.

is there even a free-ware list to do this on a PC? i don't know of one.
but i can tell you this: avoid topica - email sent from their servers is marked as spam and not even delivered to many ISPs (verizon/earthlink/mindspring)

If you go the web server route, ListMessenger is pretty good. I've been using the free version and been very happy with it.
Here's the free version

Response by poster: Well, it's a commercial venture, so I wouldn't want "hosted by YAHOO!" anywhere in the mail.
Don't know about the ISP option, as we would want a lot of control over it, and wouldn't want to hand over the suscriber list to anybody.
ListMessenger looks interesting, I'll look into it.
Thanks all.

Constant Contact.
Disclaimer: I practically work for them. Well, I work for a partner that does nearly all of their customization and design work. But it's a decent service, very commited to not being spammers and it has the functionality it sounds like you're looking for.
