Re: [OT] Best (o better than yahoo) mail provider for malinglists

I would suggest looking for somebody who runs Sympa.

Open source, well supported, more "industrial strength" than Mailman 
(designed for universities, supporting lots of lists).

I've been running it on our servers, for at least a decade (who's 
counting) - it's rock solid, well supported by both a core team (at 
Renater - the French Research & Education Network), and a larger 
community.  (For example, a patch for DMARC came out almost 
immediately.  It took a lot longer for a mailman patch to show up, and 
even longer for it to make into the standard release).  Also, Sympa is 
built around a database, mailman isn't - makes a difference for folks 
running multiple lists.  Lots more things that can be customized.

There's a list of hosting providers at 
https://www.sympa.org/users/custom - but they're mostly in France.  You 
might have to do a little hunting - or post on the sympa users list.

There's also Groupserver (http://groupserver.org) - a rather interesting 
package that does a good job of melding traditional lists, with a 
web-based forum interface.  It's open source, with hosting available - 
from a small group in New Zealand.  It has a bit of traction in the 
"electronic democracy" community.
