[SLUG] List servers
G'day all I'm email list administrator for several community groups (for my sins) and until about six months ago, they were all hosted on google groups. Then google decided that to reduce spam, a list administrator would no longer be able to simply add names to the list, even when those people had formally agreed to be added; instead it would send out invitations (as it turned out, sometimes) to which the new member must respond in order to be added. So now some of the groups have disappeared as they couldn't be maintained; some others are hosted by freelists.org because, as environmental groups, they meet the technical requirements of freelists.org. But all the other free list management servers I have found provide only a crippled service, with, presumably, the aim to encourage groups to take on the paid service.

Re: [SLUG] List servers
How many emails and members are you talking about, running your own mailman isn't that hard.
