[SAC] mail./lists.osgeo.org migration

[Frank Warmerdam]

Eli,

I've always adversed the lists.osgeo.org urls, and didn't realize the
other actually worked though it isn't too surprising since lists was
previously served from the same machine as www.osgeo.org.  I think we
should only publish lists.osgeo.org addresses for list stuff and not
try to provide backward compatability to the old www.osgeo.org urls.

Best regards,
