A disadvantage with encrypted mailing lists which use the conventional email system is that there is a single server on which the list resides, and this creates a single point of failure and a bandwidth bottleneck for more heavily subscribed lists. If the mailing list server goes down for whatever reason then that may cause a lot of disruption to its users.

-An alternative is to use a decentralised mailing list, as implemented using Bitmessage. On your local machine (not the BBB) you can make a private mailing list which is difficult to censor and where there is no single point of failure. This type of mailing list is known as a "/chan/".

With Bitmessage if any one computer goes offline then the conversation can still keep going since there is no central mailing list server. Bitmessages are also encrypted with public/private key pairs and the manner in which the system operates makes it very difficult for the surveillance apparatus to exfiltrate the social graph of list users.
