Pretty cool... are you planning to switch from Mailchimp, though? It lists $240/month as the fee for 25K-50K subscribers. I'm curious about the business model behind something like this.
A huge listserv. Each day, only one random person can write to it.

#13A clever enough idea that I decided to sign up, but my question is not on the FAQ. How many have signed up so far?

If this thing gets good open rates, advertising is a very viable option. It sounds like they have a delay from when the email is submitted until they send it out. I would think that is enough time to find a relevant sponsor for the topic at hand. Or maybe they have a way to target ads based on the email address of the subscriber.

"Dear Everyone at the Giant Listserv,
Boy, do I love Snickers! They are my favorite snack, I eat them all the time. Their crunchy texture and silky smooth chocolate satisfies my cravings like nothing else.
Love,
IEatSnickers
PS: eat snickers"

#18Earlier quoted context omitted.
You're right, it's not, but maybe people are wising up to the username+spam_source@gmail.com trick.
If that were the case they'd accept it and just remove the +spam_source before selling the address.
Likely the email-checking regex just doesn't include that character

#19Tried to enter an email address with a '+' sign in it: "Email address is invalid". No it's not.

Wising up? Whenever I have an address like this rejected I usually attribute it to ignorance and an inability to read rfc5322.

#20Question: Will there be a publicly viewable archive of said listserv?
