I'm trying to set up a mailing list for my neighborhood, which has about 60 homes and around 100 online residents. It feels a bit overkill to pay more than a few dollars a month given our low volume of emails and the fact that we don't need any marketing features. What I really want is a simple way to add all the residents to a single list, keeping the access restricted to just those addresses. I know we have to allow people to unsubscribe, although I wish we didn't have to since many of our neighbors are older and not very tech-savvy. I'm open to self-hosting a solution like listmonk if I can find an affordable virtual host. Also, if anyone knows how to set this up using Azure or AWS without getting flagged as spam, that would be super helpful!

GNU Mailman might be a good option if you can use it on the AWS free tier. It’s a solid choice for managing mailing lists.
Have you considered using AWS Simple Email Service (SES)? It could handle your needs pretty well and is cost-effective for low-volume mailing.
I'll definitely check that out; thanks for the suggestion! If anyone's used Mailman before, I’d love to hear your experiences.
