No messages are held in Mailman, at least, I can't see any through
admindb. It seems like Mailman does send mail now, but it's being
blocked by the ISP because it's not able to verify
mailman-bouncer at lists.dazjorz.com due to Postgrey - I added the ISP's
SMTP servers to the whitelist, and now I'll just need to wait for the
ISP to delete its cache. I'll let you know when something happens (No
news is good news).
