[Olpc-socal] Where Should We Move Our List?

[Lori Barfield]

in my experience, google is the best groups platform and very strong on
spam control.  there are limits on the number of unique messages, internal
recipients, and external recipients...and for the free groups, i am seeing
totals up to an order of magnitude greater than what you have there.  i
wonder if i am looking in the right place.  is this the FAQ you were
looking at?
