----------------------------Original message---------------------------- My list, Online-L, has outgrown its present server, [log in to unmask] Since 1 January 1989, it has grown from approximately 40 to 300+. I am searching for a new primary ListServ and possible future peer servers. The following is a sample of the main weekdaily mailing. There is also a shorter daily supplement listing selected items in the morning's New York Times (National Edition). In addition, there are other less frequent supplements. I need a ListServ capable of handling this traffic. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!
