[Ipg-smz] We need an alternative to our existing lists

[Tom Henderson]

I will also contribute shekels.

Some alternatives include group.io (am on four ex-yahoo/refugee lists there)

Cheap hosting as in namecheap/hostgator/etc that costs about $200 yr 
that uses php-ish bbs-ish (even 2FA/MFA authenticated) hosting (meaning 
NON-email)

Or migrate totally to slack, which visually is tough for what we do as a 
mailing list.

We're geeks here. Time to crack some knuckles. Not so long ago, David 
Gewirtz pushed through the netpress.org re-do pretty successfully. 
Perhaps one of us can help you migrate the mailman version to something 
modern. I have MySQL/SQL-of-anything skills, if that's a problem. I 
could be a DBA if it didn't seem to require heavy high-calibre weapons.
