At eGroups you can designate your list as private and thus not have it
appear in the public database. You can hide your archives from the
public and just make available to your list members or just yourself.
You can hide other features such as your files or calendar area.
As to the privacy guarantees eGroups themselves provides you, you will
just have to read their Privacy Statement and then if you have Good
Faith in that statement, you accept it.
As to the difficulty your list members have had with Lyris, have you
made a web site interface with list administration forms for those who
are e-mail challenged? It sort of has become obligatory for list
owners today to have a web site supporting their lists that includes
some type of subscription form.
