Ah, no, the problem was a route advertised to the outside world which put the mailing list server at
the UO.


Tricky to debug because from inside our network everything appeared to be working fine except that
the mailing list server couldn't make connections outside our network.


Once the problem was isolated to a machine I knew I did not control, I took the easy way out and renumbered the host to a different ip address, hupped the dns servers, and the mailing list goodness started flowing again.

Sort of a crash course in routing, as it were; since it was a topic I had not dealt with much until it broke on me.

Yet another one of those experiences that makes me sharply aware of how fragile and resilient this network really is.

Seems like W.net's router was down for a bit?
