I'm communicating with a state level peer-to-peer support group.
The national organization has a peer-to-peer "mailing list" built around

I find the web based system unusable.
I'm so old I used an acoustic coupler when connecting to an RBBS.
How do I clearly ask the state rep if there is a traditional mailing list
similar to debian-user.
The term which people generally associated with this sort of
communication channel would probably be something like "email listserv"
(or possibly just "listserv"). I think it was based on a commercial
email list management software (similar to GNU Mailman).
Way back when dinosaurs trod the internets, 'majordomo' was a common
email list daemon. I can't recall the last time I dealt with one of
those.
Richard, if your target is an amateur radio operator, then the preferred
terminology is 'email reflector'. I've not seen that term used for a
mailing list by any other subset of Internet users.
No I'm going to almost other extreme. My audience likely has no tech
experience.
