I've not hosted a mailman list in a long while. I'm trying to help some folks migrate a list with ten years of archives and no current subscribers just to make the archives indexable by the various search engines. I see the list of hosting services on wiki.list.org, but I'd appreciate actual recommendations (or pointers to prioritized lists), not an unprioritized list.
Thanks,
Skip Montanaro

Have you tried mail-archive.com? Last time I used them I think they can take a Mailman mbox file and turn it into an archive.

Or google groups? https://gist.github.com/adamamyl/02a8f44981c8685f9c88 reminds me of https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2014-October/077893.html

Thanks for the suggestion. I've actually already tried that. It was my first thought. I found a Python Google API which looked straightforward to use, but I could never figure out the whole setup/authentication process, and my pleas for assistance on the (I think appropriate) Google help forum, yielded no help, so I gave up.
I will take a look at your links.
