Yes Steve, I hear both of those work well too, I am happy now with Googlegroups, have no bounces other than appropriate ones and have gotten used to directly adding or deleting subscribers without great difficulty.
It is a shame that current email practices, convoluted configurations and unfair blacklists prevent us from using Mailman to manage lists on our own domains, a solution both elegant and easy for us.

The group I was referring to was on a mailman server though, and GoogleMail kept dropping users on an almost-weekly basis. But, I got tired of having to use the Jaws cursor to click certain things in the Googlegroups setup a few years ago and have since moved all my groups either to Freelists or Groups.io. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Humberto Rodriguez" <s...@hrfinancial.com> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Friday, July 21, 2017 9:28 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] memo for the group > Steve, > > That no longer happens with googlegroups.com and my experience is good > since > I change to it over a year ago.
