I have not experienced any email failures here, but then I don't write to this list often. I have noticed lately that several old SourceForge and Yahoo list are moving to groups.io, so I guess others are either having trouble with SF or think it is not going to be around for much longer. I did spend some time playing with groups.io and even made a test list and it seems to be very well thought out and has some nice features, like topic tagging. I think it would be a good choice if we do ever need to find an alternative to SF. The free plan should be more than sufficient for this list.
