Decommission: long overdue and not up-to-snuff with today's email-world!

MSFTing: a continuing disappointment, as it's not a real improvement anyway

Think it may be possible through NZOSS - will make enquiries and revert...

Thanks for the great feedback so far everyone!

Important factors for me would be:
- hosted in NZ
- free of charge (we no longer have a charity associated)
- mailman-based or at least support for importing mailman archives

Please keep the suggestions coming. Early next week, I will compile a
list from the offered solutions and you can show your support for the
various options.

Cheers, Peter
