They were correctly set on the command line.

Ah, thanks a lot. Indeed, this one list had a trailing space in the host_name 
setting. Removing it fixed the problem.

However, can't mailman remove spaces (which are not allowed in hostnames 
anyway according to the RFC) itself? Or simply ignore them when comparing 
host names. Similarly, case shouldn't matter in hostnames, 
as "proscientia.tuwien.ac.at" and "ProScientia.TUWien.Ac.At" are the same by 
definition. So all hostname checks should be made case-insensitive.
Or would this be too hard to be implemented in mailman?

Cheers,
Reinhold
