1. mysql table with unique id, name, email address
2. mysql table of all possible mailing lists with names and unique ids
3. table linking the above two

php form to add, edit and update the above tables
php form to select a file to mail to one or more lists - this will 
just loop through the selected recipients and send each of them a 
mail

this will be independant of the mailserver (sendmail, postfix, qmail 
or even M$ stuff)

no need to worry about bcc or aliases etc
