It would of course be very difficult for a non-technical person to manage
mailing  lists based  on sendmail  configuration entries  on his  own. It
would be ridiculous  to even attempt it, in fact.  But there are hundreds
of non-technical  people who manage LISTSERV  mailing lists successfully,
with the  occasional help  of a helpdesk  person or  LISTSERV maintainer.
Don't take my word for granted;  ask for testimonies on the LSTOWN-L list
