It took me quite a bit of research to find one that provided hosted mailman, AND was considered reliable. Lately, I've been thinking that email is irretrievably broken. My personal email is overwhelmed with an unending flow of notifications, updates and promotions that have just enough utility to make me reluctant to unsubscribe. I've also become so accustomed to the short, verbal style of slack and work email that the prose style of email just feels like a lot of unnecessary effort. It's hardly surprising then, that mailing lists like Silk have disappeared or reached a quiescent middle age. Long time lurker. Haven’t posted much (at all?). It has been so long that I almost top posted this reply. I second that. I used to run a personal, physical hosting server in a cheap Datacenter on Wall Street NY. Moved that to a hosted server and then a VPS. Now my domains sit on an AWS instance and email + family document repository on O365. Barely use email for any personal communication except forwarding emails within the family for weekly schedules and reminders for school etc. I recently had the urge to stand up my own mastodon server on my domain but almost gave up for the effort it takes to run an OS. — VaibhaV
