Dear Peers
lest we forget, it's all about the money. One of the primary elements
of a list server is it's ability to generate revenue. Minimum is to break
even. If any of you have any doubts, look at the Egroups or MSN quarterly
reports. Banner ads are big money when you serve them up by the thousands
per hour. I can't convince the COO and front office of this, but I'm
thinking of going it alone and paying my own company to host my server. If
it breaks even, I'd consider that proof of concept and see what I could sell
it for cash and stocks in my own company of course.

"pay zillions", you have to make do with what you can afford. I haven't
used IMail's listserver functionality, but from what I have heard, the
performance is quite solid, but it lacks some of the functionality of
dedicated listserver software.
