You have to obtain a listserv program such as Majordomo. There is not a 
listserver included with BSDI. I wish there was. I have not yet been able to 
find Majordomo. It may not be public domain software anyway. My suggestion is 
to put a Mac on your ethernet and get Macjordomo. It is a freeware listserver, 
and it's simple to setup. I have had problems with it on one Mac, but switched 
it to another one and it runs like a champ. I think the original problem was 
software conflicts.

Anyway, that would be my suggestion for a listserver, of course, if you don't 
have an available Mac hanging around, my solution isn't that great. :-)
