Mailing list central.

Hello,
I was hopping you could recommended some piece of free software that could
make my life easier.
I maintain a list of contacts of about 120 people. I act like a central
point of contact for all of them. If they want to say something to the
group they email me and I email everyone. The problem is normally and
understandably i can not send emails to all at once. I have to do this in
chunks.
By the way I am not spamming them and they do want to hear from me. It is
not convient for them to sign up to a web page or social media site. And
their emails are to be kept private from the general public.
I normally use sylheed mail client but I am open to suggestions.
Hello Andres,
sorry for my short reply yesterday evening. Our cat was sitting on my desk limiting my Computer use to one hand :)
If you are skilled with scripting languages it might also make sense implementing a small maling list agent in Python, Bash or Perl. The options I described above will work as well. By distributing the mails with the recipients in BCC you will have maximum privacy. All people will know your adress but not the adresses of all others. You could even clean out the sender adress prior re-sending the message body to the list.
I would try to use one of the existing mailing list implementations :)
HTH,

AFAIK Evolution supports lists of contacts to whom you can send batch mail with; that is not a mailing lists in the meaning it is not centralized on a server, but I bet you can configure that mail client to put every address in the CCO: field instead of CC:, which make every receiver's e-mail address readable only by his respective owner.
Perhaps Thunderbird and KMail have such feature also.
