Greetings from Japan,
I use LetterRip Pro, a Mac listserv program. I don't host any particularly
high volume lists, but the server software can handle quite large lists.
The only major weakness for LetterRip seems to be the lack of automated
bounce handling, but it's easy to use, reasonably priced and will run just
fine for months/years with nary a crash on a dedicated machine. An older
machine (PPC 6100 or 7100 for example) will run it just fine, especially if
you have a reasonably good full time internet account and domain name.
For further info, check out the Fog City Software home page:

Hi, I use something called Listbot to manage my discussion lists. It is a free service with advertisements in the messages, offered by http://www.listbot.com. I like it because it can do everything that you mention in your message (open subscription/unsubscription, option for completely open list, moderated list, or owner-only-posts list. ) and because list management is web-based. One draw-back is that the free service does have advertisements but to upgrade to listbot Gold, it does not cost too much (around 100$ US per year). -- ================================================================== Angela Mattiacci, PhD, MCSE Coordonnatrice - Nouvelles technologies / Co-ordinator - Information Technologies Institute of Canadian Studies / Institut d'tudes canadiennes University of Ottawa / Universit d'Ottawa 562-5800 x 3179 http://www.canada.uottawa.ca amattiac@uottawa.ca ==================================================================

The nicest one I've ever used is a free package called Mailman. It's written in Python and has all the features you describe. It also has an outstanding web-based account management and archiving system.
