Inquiry about FREE mailing lists

[Paul King]

Again, while it has its uses, I had in mind a majordomo-style list 
server. 

It appears as if I have found freelists.org useful in that area, 
and they seemed to have accepted me. I have tested their 
operations, and it looks good. What I also wanted was the ability 
for people to send commands to the server to get things like FAQ 
files, info files, and the like. People can request digests, I can 
ban users and spammers from the list, and so on...
