John,
As far as the list traffic, have you checked into onelist.com?
It's a free mail list hosting service.  I'm on several lists thru there and 
get quite a heavy load.
As far as web space, how much disk space etc is needed to host the web sites?
Fortunecity.com gives you 20MB free, Geocities/yahoo give you 10MB free, 
XOOM gives unlimited, but their servers are really slow.  Might be a 
temporary option at least.
