Mailbase in the UK operate a few hundered lists for the Higher Education
community. I must admit I do not know which list server they use, but I
think the documents they produce will give you a good starting point for
creating your own. They do ask that you acknowledge the source.
Send the message
index mailbase
stop
To: mailbase@mailbase.ac.uk
This will give you a list (with descriptions) of the documents available.
I hope this helps.
