Unless I don't understand something, I have personally set up Euphoria
programs to use sendmail on Linux to send email out to multiple
recipients. Not a big deal.
I also think that a community developed mailing list would be a great
testament to the vitality of the language AND the people using the
language.
Rob, is euphoria.com hosted on a machine under your control or are you
using a provider? If it's your machine we could develop whatever we
wanted.

Well, to make up for the extra subscriber, they un-subscribed me
today. I vote likewise.

Try talking with the folks at, for example, LinuxWebHost
(http://linuxwebhost.com). For $15 or $20 per month, they can set
you up with 10 or 20 mailing lists, plus plenty of storage and
web space for a forum. Many lists would allow people to
subscribe to only the topics they were interested in, and
you could have one for "all topics", where everything would
be combined.
Most likely they would allow Euphoria scripts in your cgi-bin to process
& sort the incoming mails.
If your account there got blacklisted, it would not affect
rapideuphoria.com.

(see above)
The actual mail handing does not need to be done by Euphoria, but
the programs which capture the messages and create a web interface
should be. Anything else makes Euphoria look bad.

Yesterday, the topica ads were very annoying.
Today, I read several posts before I realized they
has ads!
