Thanks for the offer, but I set up a MailMan list on my
server a while back and found it was not compatible
with what I'm doing with ListFilter.

This list sends out over 1Mb per month times about 400 people,
but I think it's not the raw number of bytes that's the
problem. It's the number of e-mail messages that worries ISPs.

I plan to press ahead with a Euphoria-written
message board. It won't be hard to get a basic system working.

We can still use Topica for mail delivery
for those who can stand the ads, and we can receive posts
via Topica, but I'd like to become independent of Topica
(or any other external mailing list). I suspect Topica
is not doing too well financially.

Those who hate the ads can currently view
the list here:

     http://lists.topica.com/lists/EUforum/read

and anyone, subscribed or not, can post a message
as Guest here:

     http://www.rapideuphoria.com/listserv.htm

so there's no need to look at all those inserted ads.
