I hadn't posted to this for quite a while until recently. When I did so
again a few days ago, the message hung up in my outgoing queue and I got
this message in the log:

Many MTAs refuse to relay messages from dial-up or DSL connections - and
rightly so. Just use your ISP's SMTP server as a smarthost.
I should certainly expect that for a relay, in which I address a message
to a name not only the MX, but does a mailing list count as a relay?
Certainly this is the only mailing list I've encountered to-date with
such a restriction, and I participate in several. And while I totally
get this for dial-up, my DSL has a static IP - I've had this number
longer than many companies in this post-dot-bomb world.
Indeed I can use my ISP as a smarthost, and in fact am currently doing
so out of necessity. It just bothers me. Privacy is not enhanced by
having my mail sitting on servers neither I nor the recipient control,
and while I don't want any particular privacy for messages to this list,
sending all my mail through the smarthost seems wrong.
Per-destination smarthost? Blech. :)
I apologise if I sound grumpy about this issue, and do thank you for the
response.
