Gaggle Mail (https://gaggle.email) has a free plan and it's cheapest paid plan is $100 per year. It's popular with family groups doing what you describe.

I’ve been running Gaggle Mail (https://gaggle.email) for over 10 years, and mailing lists are still very popular in certain circles. They’re especially valued for long-form discussions — legal groups, professional associations, HOAs, and similar communities still rely on them because they’re simple, reliable, and easy to archive.

I’d say pretty sustainable - but I’m biased!

We’re bootstrapped and have been profitable from day one. We’ve been around for just over 4 years and have about 1500 paying customers.

Thanks for that, I appreciate it.

That’s a neat script and one of the simplest setups I’ve seen for running a mailing list (even though I don’t understand everything the Lisp is doing).

I’m a massive fan of mailing lists and despite all the other alternatives I think for the right group of people they’re the perfect solution.

* Here comes the shameless plug *

I’m the founder of Gaggle Mail (https://gaggle.email/) which provides dead simple group email. Our customers are as far from the HN crowd as you can get; non-technical, generally elderly but they’re desperate for something simple, with few features that does just what they need - and they’re willing to pay!

There’s a real market for taking what appears as a simple technology to most techies and dumbing it down to make it accessible to a wide and willing market.
