If I understand correctly, I think that Francesco was asking for a good (free) email service provider at which he could receive emails from mail lists, rather than a mail list provider. Nevertheless, thanks for your mail list software suggestions. I've heard of Sympa but never seen them described in the manner you did here. And I am sorry to say that I had never heard of GroupServer before. Thanks for the useful information. -- Mark Rousell
