Yahoo groups alternative?
Can any recommend an alternative to Yahoo Groups? I was thinking about using GT forum but I think that the people I'm doing it for are too used to the Yahoo ability to just sign up to the list and never having to visit the website. I don't like all the advertising though.

Thanks for the suggestion but it needs to be a private system so it's only open to the members of our group. The Google system seems to be very general.

Edit: I just found Anyboard which seems to have what I want - it says:
  • Post message by email. Email is still the most popular internet tool. With AnyBoard, user can post by emailing to a mail box, AnyBoard will retrieve the mail along with attachments and post it into the forum. This feature along with email notifications allows a user to interact with the forum by email alone.


  • Does anyone have any experience of this software?

    Ok I see. Sorry I've never used Yahoo Groups. It let's you set up private groups right? ...mmm Google Groups is a public newsgroup system.

    I'm out of ideas then Blush
