Fred,
Groups.io seems to be the go-to at the moment.
+1 on David K's comment - would be willing to pay a reasonable ammount

I subscribe to over 50 ham radio, broadcast, and other activity related
forums on groups.io. It seems to be a fairly robust system, has a
calendar, file storage area, self-subscribe/unsubscribe, searchable
archives, flexible delivery, email and web based access, etc. There is a
free model for small and non-profit groups, and various tiers of paid
service depending on your needs. You can have public and private groups,
sub groups, various moderation levels and other features.
I manage half a dozen groups myself. I would encourage you to look into
it. Personally, I find it far superior to Google Groups and the old
Yahoo Groups platforms.

+1 for groups.io. I would contribute actual money for a paid
subscription to groups.io. Oh! I just checked my groups.io account --
I am (and 4 other users are) already subscribed to "Rivendell". List
owner appears to be someone named "Jim W7RY". Jim are you listening here?
Per option #3, I heartily urge avoiding yet another facebook group as
an email-based listserv replacement. I also urge consideration of
Matrix (matrix.org) as an alternative to email. I just created
#rivendell:matrix.org It's a public Matrix room which means anyone can
join and post messages.
I'm eager to see what comes of this discussion!

Howdy Folks:
Many of you here (especially those whose e-mail is delivered by via
accounts hosted by Google) have likely noticed that the reliability of
messages from this listserv has taken a significant nosedive over the
past several months. After ~20 years of self-hosting this list and (for
the past several months) spending many, many hours wrestling with
obscure and intermittent bounces generated by Google’s MTAs, I’ve come
to the conclusion that it’s time to move this service to a provider
that
has the requisite skills and resources to manage it in the “Google
age”.
Our options appear to be:
1) Host the existing list with a commercial company.
2) Move to a “non-commercial" existing listserv that has the available
capacity and would be willing to take it on —e.g. an ‘edu’ type
institution.
3) Move to some other, non-email based service (the FB Rivendell group
is one that has come up as a possibility).
WRT option 1), I’ve done some shopping around and found none with the
needed functionality that would at the same time be affordable (really
trying to avoid advertisement-based models).
I’m open to ideas regarding the possibilities.
Cheers!
