[Jacob-list] Your experience with other mailing lists

[Punkin's Mom]

I've had good luck with a Yahoo list in the past and am currently on a carriage driving list that seems to work well - of course, who knows what horrors are going on behind the scenes there as well.  Here is an info link:  http://www.carriagedriving.net/index.php?f=b&pg=23.  If it doesn't take you to a "what we are" page, click on the button for CD-L.  

Thank you so much for all you've done for us.  This is the most enjoyable list I've ever been on.  Always good information;  always nice folks.

  I am hearing about more and more problems with the Jacob-list. As I've told some of you, I can no longer use the adminstrative system that runs the list, so I can't troubleshoot or be of much help to anybody. We are also receiving many hundreds of spam messages every day (which you don't see, but I do). I'm beginning to wonder if it's time to move the list to another mailing list provider. 

  Does anybody have experience with other mailing lists that they'd like to share? Any services you love? hate?  Possible alternatives include Google Groups http://groups.google.com/, Yahoo groups http://groups.yahoo.com , others. If we change, my preference is whatever is the easiest for me and for everybody who has already subscribed.  

  Would anybody like to make a recommendation or take over the administrative duties?  Let's discuss in the list and aim to make a change at the end of the year.
