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.

Ok, found it.

Does anyone know where the cover art for he ZX81 programming book came from? (https://issuu.com/old-computers/docs/zx81basicprogramming)

I remember being fascinated by it as a child.

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.

* blatant plug *

I run Gaggle Mail (https://gaggle.email) which does paid group email (free for groups of less than 20).

It’s really aimed at non-technical folk so not really the HN crowd but thought I’d mention it.

Really enjoyed listening to this recent interview with Eric Schmidt.

I’d never heard of Bill Campbell before, seems like he was a huge influence around Silicon Valley.

This isn't the first time I've been impacted by an outage of theirs.

Can anyone recommend an alternative?

You were always able to black list IP addresses using dos.yaml (https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python/conf...). This seems to be taking that one step further.

Gaggle Mail (https://gaggle.email/)

Group Email SaaS

Threading can be preserved when creating a new message as long as the mailing software re-uses the same: 'message-id', 'references', 'in-reply-to' and 'thread-index' headers.

I work on Gaggle Mail which is a group mailing list provider that avoids all this by only using a From address that we control. I do think stricter addressing policies will become the norm in years to come which is why we took this approach.

I started Gaggle Mail (https://gaggle.email) just over a year ago, it's making around $400 per month and growing nicely.

I've really enjoyed the experience watching something I have sole responsibility over grow and be appreciated by the people who use it.

I set out to build something I could be proud of and other people would find useful - in those terms it has been successful. And with another year or so of growth it could provide the majority of my income.

We've had several people asking about adding an API, would an API to create and manage group email lists be useful to anyone?

I'd be interested to hear what you'd use it for.

As an alternative I've been using http://materializecss.com for a while and really love it.

Looks good.

I've been very happy with http://materializecss.com/. Really simple to use with some very slick touches.

Gaggle Mail is a good SaaS group email provider http://gaggle.email/

Disclosure: I'm a dev on this.

Britain's first official astronaut to got to the ISS.

Oops, should be ok now.

You can see how the 'design' evolved here http://blog.meetifyr.com/2010/11/evolution-of-web-app.html

Ironically when this site was built in 2011 a designer was used http://99designs.co.uk/web-design/contests/fast-growing-web-...

Let's just say it's not aged well.

The blog hasn't seen any activity since then but the service is still used by a few hundred people daily.

You don't need to sign up to use Meetifyr, it's all done via a unique url for each meet up (in fact there's no way to sign up).

For sure there are loads of alternatives, this hopefully strips it down to the basics. Think a semi-private, shared calendar amoungst friends.

Sounds good.

Fair point. The fact you don't have to log in or create an account is suppose to be one of it's big selling points, that should be more obvious.

Particularly useful with the holiday season approaching and everyone's social calendar getting busy.
