Jiscmail will not provide a free list for users of a commercial software
product. There is no budget at EH to pay Jiscmail to host the list.
Smartgroup is free and is used by the Scottish SMR Forum and the subsidiary
FISH groups. It seems to work very well.

Subject: Comparison of email list hosts for new SMR forum
The exegesis users group is considering establishing a separate email Forum
for Exegesis users (which will be good news for those of you who are not
interested in our little squabbles and tiffs). For hosts, the options seem
to be either JISCMAIL (which hosts SMR Forum) or Smartgroups (which hosts
FISH and Scottish SMR Forums). If any SMR Forum subscriber who is on either
of the latter (or any other Smartgroup forum, for that matter) would care to
share their thoughts on the relative merits of these two hosts, I'd be very
grateful.
Perhaps better to email these straight to me at the address below, rather
than clutter the list?
Thanks,
Jim
