Hi Volker,

luckily we don't actually host the list it's provided by an old supplier of ours 
at two.pairlist.net; I checked and you are subscribed both as 
volker.haas at brainbot.com and pediapress.com

For what it's worth we are using google for mail support. So the mx for 
reportlab.com is directed to google mail and we have a group setup for the user

reportlab-users at reportlab.com

so far as I can tell that 'group' has only one user in our system ie

	reportlab-users at two.pairlist.net

which is the real address of the list. You can certainly email there and see if 
that gets through.

I'm not sure if the way we've set this up is the best way, but certainly others 
are using this list and it seems to work.

If anyone else knows what Volker's error message really means can they say? I 
have seen this in the past with our lists when I have managed to mis-configure a 
dns or ip address somewhere.
