I run an email discussion list for a professional group, currently
about 85 members but expanding. We use the free service from Yahoo
groups but have had a few problems with it over the last year - some
members have problems because their mailservers and/or firewalls
block access. It also seems to be a bit complicated for new joiners
and very slow at times.
I am therefore considering whether we should migrate to Google groups
(again free) or consider paying for service from Mailtalk (the
feepaying arm of JISCmail). Perhaps there are also other options
that I should consider?
Does anyone know of any comparative reviews of these services?
It is possible that within the next 12 months we will also be looking
to migrate the group's website to a new host, so perhaps I should be
thinking of procuring a whole package of services. Pointers on this
would be very helpful.
Many thanks
