A few year ago I moved off gmail to paying for an email host. I settled
on Gandi since I was hosting my domain with them at the time. Now I'm
looking at trying to self host it. I would be interested in paying a
Canadian company to do the hosting.

At my work we switched over to using mailman3 and from the users
perspective I found it a lot easier to use. I also like the hyperkitty
frontend for it to read the archive from the web. I found the search
actually works!

I recall IT saying that it works better for any of our customer facing
mailing lists. But I'm not as knowledgeable on that front.
