I looked into this about 4 months ago and did not find anything locally.
Did not look too hard though.
This is one of the bigger ones that I loooked at (they are in CA):

I think it was about $100 per month with some setup fees for a normal list.
We ended up doing it in house with Debian running Mailman doing a
newsletter broadcast list to about 9,000 subscribers.
And a small discussion list for the Board of Directors with more lists coming.
Client is extrememely happy with the setup. And they own the box.
Now it is also acting as a Samba file server and they got a good return on
their investment and they are excited about having Linux as well !!!
