[Web4lib] mailing lists/listserv hosting service recommendations?

[Reynolds, Erica, JCL]

Greetings Web4Lib,

 

Do you use or have recommendations for a hosted mailing list/listserv
company? I need to have 2 lists hosted for a community partnership we
run out of the library to help promote the community's understanding of
and appreciation of science and science careers:

 

1. A public list that would be a one-way list where members of the
public can self-subscribe, self-unsubscribe, but only receive-not post
to the list. This is where we would send out notices of events and
community activities.

 

2. An administrative list that would be a two-way list where the partner
organizations would discuss the partnership activities. This would not
be monitored by an admin (someone here at the library) and would not be
a self-subscribe/unsubscribe list-we would add/delete people from the
list as they joined or left the partnership.

 

Any suggestions for good hosting services would be most appreciated.

 

Best wishes,

Erica
