For "small" mailing lists the overhead isn't that bad, it's archiving them and supporting database searches and/or file lists that costs. I would suggest that some of these "orphaned" list owners who would settle for a straight mailing list, no archives, and only a few hundred subscribers should ask again for a "no frills" host. The addition of new lists is only a marginal increase in mail traffic; but archiving them is a cumulative committment of resources. [\] Jeff Kell, [log in to unmask]
