Howdy Folks:

Many of you here (especially those whose e-mail is delivered by via accounts 
hosted by Google) have likely noticed that the reliability of messages from 
this listserv has taken a significant nosedive over the past several months. 
After ~20 years of self-hosting this list and (for the past several months) 
spending many, many hours wrestling with obscure and intermittent bounces 
generated by Google’s MTAs, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s time to move 
this service to a provider that has the requisite skills and resources to 
manage it in the “Google age”. Our options appear to be:

1) Host the existing list with a commercial company. 

2) Move to a “non-commercial" existing listserv that has the available capacity 
and would be willing to take it on —e.g. an ‘edu’ type institution.

3) Move to some other, non-email based service (the FB Rivendell group is one 
that has come up as a possibility).

WRT option 1), I’ve done some shopping around and found none with the needed 
functionality that would at the same time be affordable (really trying to avoid 
advertisement-based models).

I’m open to ideas regarding the possibilities.

Cheers!
