That's right, one of my colleagues is a member of said list.  But how
come it registers @www.ceruleansoftware.com, whereas our MX record
indicates that the primary mail server is supposed to be
mail.ceruleansoftware.com.

I think I was flagged at yahoogroups, not sure about plug.  Funny thing
is, I still got some mails from both lists at that time.

Whoa, the MX record should indicate mail.ceruleansoftware.com, which is
supposed to be 203.131.108.206.  That's the reason why you can't query
port 25 of ceruleansoftware.com; by itself it should resolve to the same
ip as www.ceruleansoftware.com.  I did a dig on the primary and
secondary infocom DNS servers, and everything seems to be in order.

Think it's a DNS problem?
