news.gmane.org is a free newsserver that mirrors 1000s of technical 
email lists. python-list is gmane.comp.python.general. There are 100s of 
other gmane.comp.python.* groups.

I use Thunderbird on Win7 because it does both mail and news. I 
previously used Outlook Express for same. There are others.
