Russell,

   Violence isn't justified. Gentle agreement is sufficient. :-)

   Resolved. salmo removed from DNS host records as unnecessary. It's the
name of my server/workstation and is the same host as mail. It was
cluttering the records and served no useful purpose as no mail should be
addressed to that hostname.

   That's correct, except that Mailman was not configured by the owner to
recognize lists.appl-ecosys.com, only appl-ecosys.com. Since the Mailman
owner, not the maillist owner, needs to change that I can do nothing at the
moment.
