I would suggest looking for somebody who runs Sympa.
Open source, well supported, more "industrial strength" than
Mailman (designed for universities, supporting lots of lists).
I've been running it on our servers, for at least a decade (who's
counting) - it's rock solid, well supported by both a core team
(at Renater - the French Research & Education Network), and a
larger community. (For example, a patch for DMARC came out almost
immediately. It took a lot longer for a mailman patch to show up,
and even longer for it to make into the standard release). Also,
Sympa is built around a database, mailman isn't - makes a
difference for folks running multiple lists. Lots more things
that can be customized.
There's a list of hosting providers at
https://www.sympa.org/users/custom - but they're mostly in
France. You might have to do a little hunting - or post on the
sympa users list.
There's also Groupserver (http://groupserver.org) - a rather
interesting package that does a good job of melding traditional
lists, with a web-based forum interface. It's open source, with
hosting available - from a small group in New Zealand. It has a
bit of traction in the "electronic democracy" community.
If I understand correctly, I think that Francesco was asking for a
good (free) email service provider at which he could receive emails
from mail lists, rather than a mail list provider.
Nevertheless, thanks for your mail list software suggestions. I've
heard of Sympa but never seen them described in the manner you did
here. And I am sorry to say that I had never heard of GroupServer
before. Thanks for the useful information.
