Mailman (2, I assume) will set the MAIL FROM to its host, as defined
by DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST in mm_cfg.py, or to the virtual host if you have
those defined.  (Not sure offhand where the latter is defined.)

If you have a physical host, most likely "lists.ripplingwater.us" is
the MAIL FROM, I think, but if you have a virtual host managed by a
third party (Dreamhost?), it could be anything
(pdx1-mailman01.dreamhost.com is a possibility).

This is saying that mx1.comcast.net refused the mail as soon as it saw
MAIL FROM.  That means that your ISP (Dreamhost?) is responsible for
the email you received, not Comcast.

I'm in Japan, so that might be the problem, but this does not look
good:

% host lists.ripplingwater.us
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
% host ripplingwater.us 
Host ripplingwater.us not found: 2(SERVFAIL)
% host lists.ripplingwater.us
lists.ripplingwater.us has address 64.90.62.204
Host lists.ripplingwater.us not found: 2(SERVFAIL)
Host lists.ripplingwater.us not found: 2(SERVFAIL)
% host -t MX lists.ripplingwater.us
Host lists.ripplingwater.us not found: 2(SERVFAIL)
% % host -t MX lists.ripplingwater.us
lists.ripplingwater.us has no MX record
host -t NS lists.ripplingwater.us
Host lists.ripplingwater.us not found: 2(SERVFAIL)
% host -t NS lists.ripplingwater.us
lists.ripplingwater.us has no NS record

Your nameservers appear to be misconfigured (no MX, no NS?), and the
multiple failures suggest they're very busy (perhaps under DoS
attack?)

Hope this helps.
