All the other mailman/etc mailing list programs as well as the popular forums on Yahoo/AOL/etc. I've belonged to have all pretty much switched over to groups.io. Free and easy (up to 100 subscribers), lots of features, self-service for subscribing and unsubscribing, file and photo storage, calendar, polls, etc. It seems like a robust product and almost a no-brainer to manage. Maybe at least look at it? Michael
