Does anyone know of a reliable ListServ app that could be used on a hosted
W2K box running Coldfusion 5.0?

Scenario:  Similar to Evolt list, but even simpler

- Public site where users can subscribe to an announce-only listserv list.
- Email addresses should be handled on the listserv side (Fear of CF_Mail
buggyness)
- CF App takes care of creating newsletter and sending to list
- Subscribers have html page to edit subscribe/unsub
- Load is 500-3000 users for the next year

Concerns:

- Don't want to buy a whole mail server as don't need mail
- Not sure if hosted mailing list is adequate, and very limited control over
user list (web interface) in case of problems


Thank you very much for any thoughts on this.

Ed
