Free.

Nope, only on the webpage of mushrooms mailing list there are some photos
of the mushrooms. There are only a few pictures on other web pages.
The amount of posts sent to the lists is on average 1 per day I think, so
by any means that's a lot.

Depends what you mean by major priviliges. I think of basic priviliges,
and additionaly access to mailman directory with priviliges to run mailman
commands.

I have nowhere to run it.

But cannot make a server from it running 24/7/365

My full name is on the lists web pages.

I'm neither a hacker, nor a spammer if that is what you are afraid of. I'm
just a list-owner without his own server.
