I'm no expert but I didn't care much for Yahoo groups when I used to be on a
couple of Yahoo lists in the past. Thinking about it, wasn't access-uk a
Yahoo list at first and then moved to freelists? Anyway, I can't recall
specific issues with Yahoo groups now but I recall that one of them was
having to keep unbouncing my email address. Probably better to avoid Yahoo
if we must move.
Only my two pence worth.

Please please please please please don't go to Yahoo Groups! That's like
going out of the frying pan into the fire!
I'm on about 20 Google Groups mailing lists and run 3 and have never had a
problem. Plus joining, leaving, moderation and banning controls are
excellent.
And group import is very easy too.
So, if you really have to move, please consider Google Groups.
