Yup.

Be that as it may, most providers just aren't in any kind of position 
to provide any kind of even moderately decent quality mailing list 
services.  It may be an unpleasant surprise after-the-fact, but 
there's not much we can do to soften that blow.

Even large education sites like the University of Texas at Austin 
(where I now work) can have problems getting mail to or from sites 
like Yahoo or AOL, but the problems you seem to be experiencing are 
much more likely to be a limit placed on you by your own provider. 
Unless you're willing to switch providers, I don't see that there's 
anything more we can do to help you.
