Coworking member mailing list - help!
Hello fine Mailman Users!
I am one of the owners & operators of Office Nomadshttp://officenomads.com/, a coworking http://coworking.com space in Seattle, WA. We have been using Mailman to manage our internal member mailing list for several years, to enable our members to contact one another about job postings, events going on, and requests for help. It's a fantastic system that is easy to use, but we're running up against a challenge: we've hit the 100 member mark and therefore don't have room for everyone on the mailing list.
We are currently hosted at Bluehost, which I recognize is the piece that is responsible for the 100-member limit.
Do any of you have recommendations on which hosting provider might not implement 100-member limits? The key here is that we're not looking for an email blast list like Mailchimp. We are looking for a system to use that enables any member to send a message to all of our members in the space.
It's one little growing pain for us, but I'd love to hear any recommendations you all might have for how to solve the problem. I checked through the archive of questions adn the FAQ but didn't see any recommendations for alternate places to host our mailing list so we can keep using Mailman.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
Susan

See http://wiki.list.org/display/COM/Mailman+hosting+services.
In particular, one of the principals of EMWD and Mailmanhost.com is active on this list and seems highly conscientious about supporting Mailman.

Ditto, Susan. I have NOT ever seen a Member-limit however ?!?!? What level "plan" do you have ?? I'm original Platinum so perhaps that the reason ?!?!?
I DO know that [very unfortunately] they are dumber-than-a-rock when it comes to any sort of MailMan problem ! ! ! Due to this List, I have actually gotten out of a problem or two by telling Level 3 Tech WHAT TO DO <G> <G> ! ! !
I have told them several times that they should have some-one [or 3 - 4] ASSIGNED HERE, and that those folks LEARN MM so that they could offer the BEST eMail List Management tool available <G> ! With the BEST "Tech Assistance" available ANYWHERE on the Net <VBG>!!
