I'm looking at using a simple PHP based mailing list for my stepdad's website. It doesn't have to be fancy - all it needs is a basic opt-in/confirm/opt-out thing. Not really bothered about archiving, personalisation, HTML format or anything like that - as long as he's able to log in to some sort of web interface, type his brief email in plain text and send it to the people that have subbed to his list, that will be fine. It can't be a third party one like yahoo or topica though.

I've been looking at this one:

PHP Web Scripts - Quality Software for Your Web - Easy Banner Pro, Link Up Gold, Text Exchange Pro

Anyone got any idea if it's good? Can anyone personally recommend any others?

I've had a nosey at PHPList, but that just seems like massive overkill for what he needs.
