I use PHPWebHosting.com -- they're cheap ($9.95 a month) give
a decent amount of Web space and have MySQL/Perl/PHP and the
ability to set up mailing lists and unlimited email addresses.
They're also very responsive to requests.

Everything is done through Web forms and email, no phone support.
However, I've never had to wait more than one business day for
a response.

It's MySQL-based, sorry -- maybe there's another company that favors
PostgreSQL instead. I think I originally heard about them via a post
on Slashdot, and I've been very happy with them.

Take care,
