Thanks Jesper.

And there is second one from me.

I can host any number of mailing lists on my university servers for
free. University uses mailman for managing mailing lists, so archiving
and moderation is not problem, this is very flexible package.

Example of web accessible archive is here:

http://mailman.vse.cz/pipermail/4iz228/

(note that our lists can be configured to use English in user interface,
this one is using Czech so don't be confused).

E-mail of mailing list archive will have to be in form something at vse.cz,
for example sc34wg4 at vse.cz.

I have asked about longevity of mailman. Currently there are no plans to
discontinue mailman and its support. But of course no one will give me
stamped paper saying that they will offer service for another 15 years.
But even if they are going to stop mailman in future, it will be
possible to download archives and publish them somewhere else.

I have nothing against raising Danish GDP by 16€/month, but in Czech I
can get 10 GB webhosting including 10 mailing lists on own domain for
5€/month. (e.g. http://www.web4u.cz/webhosting/ they are using  ezmlm as
mailing list software). Wouldn't this be international mailing list I
would say that here in Czech we are cheap b&#&@#s from Eastern (read
Central) Europe ;-D

Setting up mailing list on university or using some Czech webhosting
company also should not take more then 14 days.
