If it's run from a dedicated machine in the home office (which it sounds like it is), can't we just purchase it and have it set up somewhere else?  Where it is doesn't matter.  If it takes an expert IT guy to get it up and running again, I know a few myself that could do it blindfolded.  My website is hosted by my webmaster on his own machines, so it can be done.  If the home office is just going to pull the plug and heave the server out the window, why we don't just dive in the dumpster and get it?  What am I missing?

Great idea..........Someone in power, should be asking the HO and see if we (collectively) can take over the mail list 
server.

Even I would put in some time and try to help - after all, I have setup and maintained, over time, 6 websites and for my 
business, played with 4 shopping carts before settling on my current one CS-CART. (http://hechlerpianoandorgan.com/cscart3/)

So maintaining a mail list server is really a "piece of cake".

Just sayin', Duaine
