Ugh, Dreamhost getting rid of Mailman email lists. Alternatives?

Looks like Dreamhost is getting rid of Mailman email lists. We might be the last people still using Mailman email lists but we use them a lot. Have a ton of other stuff hosted on Dreamhost so don't want to move entirely. Does anyone happen to know of any cheap or free alternatives for just Mailman hosting that they recommend?

DreamHost Is Holding My Domains Hostage Over a Google Workspace Invoices

I’m honestly disappointed with DreamHost right now.

My domains are expiring, but DreamHost is refusing to let me renew them unless I first pay old invoices related to Google Workspace.. a service I only tested briefly and couldn’t even find a proper option to cancel.

Now the account is suspended over a US$30 balance, and they’re effectively holding my domains hostage until I pay for a service I no longer use.

I understand companies need payment policies, but blocking domain renewals over unrelated Workspace invoices feels extremely unfair, especially when domains are time-sensitive assets that can easily be lost.

Support basically told me:

  1. Pay the Workspace balance first
  2. Then I can access domain renewals

This experience has been frustrating and stressful. Has anyone else faced this with DreamHost? Any advice on recovering domains or transferring them out while suspended?

Yep, Dreamhost is whirling down the toilet

Blocked my damn IP for a day. Three (five?) different "Support Tickets", no fix and clueless. "Dur, does modsecurity block ping?"

Time to plunge the toilet.
