Mailman caused the original problem by using a bad domain name in the
address when sending out monthly reminders, but the current dilemma is
at your mail server, which probably has a huge deferred queue.
message reject detail (from our mail server)
---------------------
Sender address rejected: Domain not found (total: 17)
17 [email protected]
The easiest fix is to enter an A record for lists.vmhosting.org and then
our mail servers should accept the mail when the old TTL runs out.
Otherwise, just dump the deferred queue as most of us remember our
password. :-)
The mailman fix won't likely help with the current problem, but
explicitly defining DEFAULT_URL_HOST and DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST
in /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py will probably help next month. :-)
