You're right, the situation right now is not ideal. But there are some
alternative solutions. For example, I'm using Uberspace, which is a
pretty cheap hosting platform. E-mails from my Uberspace address are
generally accepted by Google and the like. ProtonMail is also pretty
good (but you'll want emersion's hydroxide for IMAP/SMTP on free plans).
You could probably crawl through all the addresses on this mailing list
and find some suitable domains - I just did so for the last 2011 e-mails
on this list, with the following domains and counts of e-mail addresses:
```
$ mlist us/list/gemini | mseq -S
$ mhdr -h To:Cc -A : |
sed -e 's/^.* <\(.*\)>$/\1/' -e 's/^\(.*\)@\(.*\)$/\2 \1/' |
sort -u |
awk 'BEG{p="";c=0}{if(p==$1){c++}else{if (length(p))print
c,p;p=$1;c=1}}END{print c,p}' |
sort -nr

But even if e-mail is not the right protocol to use, Gemini is
definitely worse. If you have suggestions beyond either one, please do
share.
