It's a stock Ubuntu Hardy server with Postfix, greylisting and mailman. 
  No AV or other spam measures (as yet).

His mail is going via upstream ISP smarthost 
(smtpauth14.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net, via GoDaddy hosting, I think), 
using smtpauth from the client.

BUT, 'lists.' is a CNAME to 'mail.' so it may be that something, 
somewhere is barfing on that and "helpfully" re-resolving the host.  DNS 
is out of my control and is hosted on Windows, unfortunately...

Thanks,
JP

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
