Tyler,

It is possible it relates to that, but it seems to me from
in the pairnic interface that the MX record for lists.osgeo.org
points to whereever the lists.osgeo.org DNS entry points.
But this is also an area I don't know much about.

It *seemed* like messages were getting to the lists VM but
somehow were not being delivered on.  However, if I emailed
a list from a local account on the VM it did seem to work. But
I managed to get quite confused about what had and had not
worked, so I don't really trust my recollection of the details.

I will note there are lots in /var/log/mailman that might help
people work out something about what happened.

Best regards,
