Question

Need webhosting service with competent listserv admin.

Oct 25, 2013 12:19AM PDT

I need a web hosting provider who handles listservs as well as website hosting. I'm the administrator for a professional association that has a WordPress website and several group email lists. The WordPress website is nothing fancy, just a few static pages and some password-protected content for members.

Unfortunately, our listserv has been getting attacked by a run-of-the-mill From forgery. The spam is getting properly rejected by the listserv mechanism, but lately it has also been automatically unsubscribing valid list members. It appears that the listserv software thinks that the member is sending spam, and then automatically and immediately unsubscribes that member from the list.

Our contract is expiring mid-November and I want to switch providers.

So here's what I need:
1. A provider who can host a website built on WordPress
2. A provider who lets the site administrator (or provider rep) turn off the spam unsubscribe feature on listserv engine, or at the very least also fires an email to the admin, not just the subscriber, when this auto unsubscribe has happened.

Does anybody have experience with this type of company? Thanks in advance!
