... the group let the domain name lapse and someone
else now owns the domain name. Thus I can no longer get to the Mailman list
admin website to turn the list off.

I contacted the web host and they were "unresponsive."

<rant>Don't get me started on this topic! I have been fighting to reinstate a lapsed domain name for one of my clients for a YEAR now! The original registrar (RegisterFly -- avoid like the plague!) went bankrupt, and they went dark for a couple months, and didn't notify my client their name lapsed. Then another registrar took over the name, again without notifying the registrant. Now RegisterFly is re-org'd and back in business, but they won't reinstate the name, pointing to the other registrar (ENOM), who points back. WHAT A MESS!</rant>

Moral of the story, don't EVER let a domain name lapse if you think you might want it again. Unless you've got very deep pockets.

Is there some other way to stop the list?


On the other hand, I'm amazed it is still up and running. I would write to the new owners, pointing out that it is in their best interest to stop this "parasitic" use of their resources, that they are paying for. If that doesn't get results, I'd start slamming the list with thousands of messages (yea, I know, unkind to the hapless subscribers) in the hope that all the bounces and admin backscatter will spur the new domain owner into action.
