I
left yahoogroups for the same reason you are complaining on this list.
Half the messages are not delivered, and I was seeing delays of up to 48
hours. The private server works well when you have tech folks who know
what they are doing. The guy at bluenorth hosting has kept the sandbox
list running with no lag for 18 months. That’s why I’m
following him to bluenorth and leaving the current host. What is
happening with RTF is most of the webhosting companies do not know how to deal
with a mailing list and when it actually starts being used they either a)
throttle back on the speed causing the delays, b) throttle back on the number
of messages they allow which further causes delays, or c) raise the bandwidth
prices which causes a move. The techs fumbled sandbox badly, we had the
list “breaking” for hours at a time until I found someone who knew
what they were doing. That’s the guy I just referred mike to.
And it cost through the nose. But, he’s broke from that company and
set on his own and gave me such a great price I’m betting that he will
give a great price for RTF too. I’m figuring if he can keep a group
with the traffic of sandbox running with little problems he could keep RTF
running that’s why I mentioned it. I’m
evaluating googlegroups, but if you frequent the googlegroups owner tech lists
you will find that they too are experiencing missing mail, delayed mail, and
disappearing groups. *BUT*
it is still in beta, so I’m hoping the finished product will be superior
to yahoogroups. Right now it’s not. That’s just MHO. http://www.the-sandbox.org From:
