Nothing but good things to say about Mailroute. They're mostly aimed at businesses with individual users. When I contacted them way back in 2011 to ask about 9fans, the owner said he had run Plan 9 on a Sparc at UCLA in 1993 (!) and offered to treat the list as a simple two-user domain since the list traffic is so low, plus a 10% referral discount that was running at the time. That amounts to $54/year currently (it started at $60/year but apparently the per-user price went down!). The service has worked like clockwork ever since then, except when my bank sends me a replacement credit card and the next January the annual automatic billing fails and I don't notice the emails about it (I'm really terrible at keeping up with email since having kids). The fact that the list is billed as a "user" is probably why they thought to try mailing it to reach me. Best, Russ
