I guess it's Majordomo, available as
/usr/ports/mail/majordomo.  But I wouldn't recommend you the
use of Majordomo either.  It has a ugly bug, which allows
local users to execute code as the majordomo-user.  This
issue wasn't ever fixed by the majordomo-development-team
since a few years now and this is *really* strange.

Better you use Mailman (available as
/usr/ports/mail/mailman), which is easy to administer and
has a nice Web-Interface.
