We (at Bomis) do have another server that could run the mailing lists that is almost unrelated to wikipedia. It's the server that wikipedia started out on, which still hosts some of the old UseMod wikis.
I haven't spoken to Jimmy about this, but I think he was considering allowing wikipedia to use the server to host the mailing lists.

what about having the lists on sourceforge's servers????
I don't think we'd have the same control there, and I don't think we could make the move transparent.
What we'd like to be able to do is just set up mailman on the other location, change our DNS records to point to the new machine as the mail server for the wikipedia.org domain, and let mail move over there automatically as the new DNS gets picked up.
