there are a number of free, open-source, relatively simple list server packages for Unix, which is what most webservers run. Best bet is to talk to your ISP - most very small ISPs offer this service for nothing.

When a client of mine, a large organization for people with disabilities, told me that they were going to use this service to establish a listserv, I was concerned. When I ran the site through Bobby it failed - not a surprise there as so many do. With a little work it could pass the test, but that is not my question here. The concern I have for my client is that as a large visible organization for people with disabilities that they are in a position to be leaders and set standards. It would seem to be that associating with a list service that is not accessible and promoting the inaccessible service with every email that is sent - because ONEList inserts advertising much like Juno does - is not in the best interest of the organization or to the disability community. I would appreciate any thoughts or comments on this issue and any suggestions for free or low cost list servers that are accessible. thanks in advance, -Nancy --Charles McCathieNevile mailto:charles@w3.org phone: +1 617 258 0992 http://www.w3.org/People/Charles W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI MIT/LCS - 545 Technology sq., Cambridge MA, 02139, USA
