Most people may prefer Mailman to majordomo; you might want to look at it.

What the ISP thinks is irrelevant unless it blocks port 25, or if
other ISPs (in an effort to combat spam) block anything that smells of
a DSL address.

Anotther alternative is to set up a Google Group. I maintain a mailing
list that way, and it's very easy to adminster, kick out the spam
(before anyone else reads it), manage members' subscriptions, etc.

Then you probably want a Google Group. I for one don't think there
will be legal issues. But IANAL.
