The problem with Freelists from my point of view is the lack of control
associated with it. Freelists is exactly that. A free service. You have
no idea when it will suddenly go to crap, and then that's a waste of a
list...and a new mailing address to remember because you've chosen to
move some place else. The domain is just too valuable, and I'm honestly
shocked that more hasn't been done with it.
If you moved to another webhost with mailman, there's transparency to
the user. I firmly believe mailman is not at fault for the problems
here. The webhost itself, on the other hand...

Honestly, Tom?
I actually think it has something to do with your reliance on
Ultrahost more than anything else. I'd be more apt to have you host your
list's email somewhere else, before resorting to Freelists. The domain
is too good to waste as such. I can host pC-Audio on my DreamHost
hosting plan, as i have unlimited domains and unlimited...well,
everything. I won't charge you, and we can see how you like it that way.
Alternatively, subscribe to Google Apps pro, host your domain there and
use Google Groups on said domain, and have rock solid lists for as long
as you like. But please...no freelists.

Ladies and gentlemen,
The hosting for the pc audio list and the domain name will
expire at the end of December. The list software has been
problematic for over a year. Not sending messages to some
people, not allowing some people to send messages to the
list, bouncing messages to valid e-mail addresses, a lot of
trash etc. I'm considering taking the list to free lists. I
don't mind paying for the domain name and hosting of the list
but the support just has not been very good.
I'm open to thoughts and opinions.

Thank you.
