Oh, interesting.  You appear to be correct.  I'm running each of the
mailing lists' services in their own containers so the private IP makes
sense.

I just commented on a FR for Hyperkitty to disable posting via Web UI:
https://gitlab.com/mailman/hyperkitty/-/issues/264

Aside from that, I can confirm my new SPF filter has already blocked one
spam e-mail from getting through so that's good.

Thanks for the tip.
