ah
after a long long time I received a bounce from centurylink.net using 2.1.26 at site5
no bounce as yet from centurylink.net <http://centurylink.net/> using 2.1.29 at mailmanlists.net <http://mailmanlists.net/>

the config was not quite the same
so I made mailmanlists config equal centurylink and sent again
