My appologies - the list indeed seemed to have had a problem. I'm getting increasingly more dissatisfied with mailman - it has this "feature" where messages to domains whose MX's cannot be looked up (probably because the domain is no longer registered or DNS is down) clog up the entire list. I've upgraded to 2.0.12 version of mailman, of this doesn't make it better, I will look for other software. Thanks to all who made offers to host - so far hosting is not a problem. I'm not very keen on having the list at Sourceforge - I'd rather have more control over it, also I don't know how long Sourceforge will be around - these days nothing is certain. So far only CVS is hosted there.
