So, I'm trying to set up a mailing list - a client wants to send a number of newsletter-style emails at any time - i.e. once a week to once a month.

I may use phplist, as so many have suggested it. I'm also looking at http://mailing-list.us/ - which seems more lightweight after trying out the interface for phplist (ugh).

My only question is that the site is hosted on a small account. Space isn't much of a concern, but bandwidth and the toll it will take on the server is my number one concern.

If this list sends out, say, 50-100 emails each time (let's say...5 times/month for good measure) what's the toll going to be on the server? This should be very manageable on a run-of-the-mill shared account, right (in other words, I'm not going to make the host all uppity, am I)?

As I suspected.

Thank you, Mr. Brown.

50-100 should be fine. But keep an eye on it, especially if you are in a hosted enviroment. Bigger mailouts can swallow up CPU processing time quite easily.

Will do. I'll talk to them and make sure they keep themselves under control.
