There is something weird there, I did a DIG for: is.co.za ns staffmail.is.co.za ns staffmail.is.co.za mx
And found that there are NS for staffmail.is.co.za, but not when you ask for NS records, I got them when asking for MX records. Very odd, I'd suggest he can't mail the list because Davide has some verification of Lame DNS configs. It is quite likely that as "staffmail" is a subdomain, it has not been correctly setup.
