Yes, it is possible, but it will be slightly different than your typical Majordomo (which may or may not be availble for Win32).
the heart of the project would be a while loop operating on a list of names, probably drawn from a database or file.
while ($names)
{ $result = mail( $names, $subject, $messge);
// some type of increment here
}
You could then create an HTML form that submits your message, subject and possibly the recipients.
The while loop would then send a message to each person on the list.
A benefit to using this technique over some others is that each person recieves a message addressed to them specifically. This means that the letter would not contain the address of all the recipients, therefore preventing others from seeing who is was sent to. It would also allow you to take information from the database and customize the body of the message to that person. Kind of like a mail merge.
I've taught a class and had the students do this as an example. If you need a copy of the example, let me know.

Hi,
can someone help please...
I need a "list server", i.e. a site owner sends an email which gets sent to all people who have suscribed to a list on a web site.
I need something that will work on an NT server and free/cheap as possible!
Is it possible to implement a list server in PHP partially/totally?
Regards, Lee.
