Does anyone have advice on reliable providers of e-mail 
announcement list services in the U.S.?

A project I work with may need support for web based 
subscription to a one-way announcement list.  It is hard to 
estimate the number of subscribers but to say between 5,000 
to 50,000.  About one message a week from mid-September into 
November would be sent.  With a few extras around election time.

I am interested in systems that ask the web form subscribers to 
verify their address by glancing at it on a confirmation page, 
but feel a confirm reply e-mail message might reduce the number 
of subscribers.  I am also interested in systems that use the 
listserv "probe" feature or some other feature that can be used 
to clean out bad addresses.  The list would potentially be used 
lightly in 1999 and regeared up for 2000 with non-partisan 
activities related to the Presidential election.

Any suggestions on who to get a bid from on such a list?  And 
who has the best track record with such matters?

Thanks,

Steven Clift
