Doesn't look that cheap to me for a US based server. Not that a US server is
particularly a bad thing IME and as long as you can provide the support,
best of luck. I'm sure there are plenty of people who wouldn't go direct but
are quite happy to do it through a UK company.

I'll stick with my (new) current host though :-).


BTW anybody know an easy way to back up the list of subscribers from a
mailman email list? I only have cpanel or jailed shell ssh access.
