[WEB4LIB] Re: Free mailing list services

[Robert J. Tiess]

Listbot (http://www.listbot.com) is a great free list service
too.  It is very flexible and permits multiple lists (moderated/
unmoderated).  I use it for several sites.  If anyone's looking
for something more along the lines of a message board, check out
http://www.InsideTheWeb.com

Deja News (http://www.dejanews.com) also allows users to
establish their own forums, although some users may consider its
implementation not as accessible and manageable as other free
services recently mentioned on Web4Lib.
