That would be the responsibility of your ISP.  If they're not doing 
their job, then maybe you might want to find a different provider of 
this particular service.

There are multiple different providers of service for Mailman and 
Mailman-hosted mailing lists linked from FAQ 1.17 at 
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.017.htp>. 
I believe that at least one of those is actually fairly active on the 
mailman-users mailing list, although I don't have any personal 
experience with their particular service.
