You have confirmed this, how?

Why not simply set up a nice mailing list for him?  Mailman is a really 
nice package that is easy to set up, and gives the list members a web-based 
interface (they can also issue commands via E-Mail if they want) for 
managing their list membership options, etc.

It would probably save you both a lot of hassle... :-)
