What is the problem with Yahoo? They have kept all the same services as e-groups. If your problem is with the Yahoo banner adds at the bottom of your messages, there is a quick and easy fix for this - go to your Yahoo Groups account profile and switch your send settings from HTML to plain text. This eliminates the banner ad.
 
I have not noticed any increase in porn spam since the switch - I use a hotmail account for my mailing lists, anyway, which allows me to set up a "bulk mail" folder to catch all the spam. The bulk mail folder will catch your mailing lists too, so you need to select incoming bulk mail address and mark them "not bulk mail" or put them into "blocked senders." I know it's a bit of a pain, but it's better than many other systems.
