I got an email this morning from Brian Carpenter at EMWD:

Hi Jacob:
Thank you for your interest in our services.

> b) allows the list to be hosted using our domain name, not yours
We meet both of those requirement. Just keep in mind that since you
cannot have a domain point to two servers (Mailman requires a web
server), you will need to use a domain name that is not in current use
or you can use a sub-domain off of your main domain such as
list.open-mesh.net.

How many members will be subscribed to your list?
</quote>
This is the best alternative that I have found. They charge $4/month
for up to 1000 subscribers and 1-8 posts/day. Looking at the
archives, I don't think this will be a problem for us. We can pay
more for up to 20,000 subscribers with this service. If you guys are
comfortable with this, then I need to work out details with Brian (how
many subscribers, how to pay, can we import the existing archive, DNS
records).
IMHO, I feel that better alternatives exist if we drop requirement
"b", but I'm happy to be sysadmin for the list, wherever we host it.
Jake
