Sure.  Some Mailman-specific hosting groups are listed in FAQ 1.17 at
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.017.htp>, 
and there are other groups there that do more general hosting but 
which also provide Mailman hosting as part of their package of 
services.

FAQ 1.17 has a partial list of Mailman-specific hosting sites, but 
I'm sure there are other sites that have similar lists of providers.

Funny thing about that word "unlimited".  It doesn't actually mean 
"unlimited" anymore.  Now it means:

	We don't advertise any limits because we want to get your business
	at any cost, but as soon as you exceed the low limits we secretly
	place on you, we'll kick your sorry butt out the door as quickly
	as we possibly can.

It's kind of like that secret no-fly list that no one can ever tell 
you whether or not you're on the list or how you got on it or how you 
can get off it, but they won't let you fly if your name is there.

Feel free to quote any of my messages, and if they have any further 
questions I'll be more than happy to whop them upside the head with a 
clue-by-four.
