There was a DNS error in the MX record for lists.digium.com, which
caused email to the list server to bounce :-(

Someone had put:

lists	IN	MX	10	69.16.138.164

in the digium.com zone. But MX records take a NAME, not an IP, so
everyone's email relay was trying to send the mail to the hostname 
69.16.138.164.digium.com, which didn't exist!

The record is now correct:

lists	IN	MX	10	lists

Anyone running their own DNS server might want to restart it to get
the old wrong value out of their cache.

Cheers
Tony
