It wasn't that there were published records for stusta.de, the problem was that the mail server couldn't resolve your domain. For some reason everything from the DNS I'm using to your DNS gets dropped. The mail server takes the paranoid route and assumes the worst when it cannot contact dns servers (that's why you got a 4xx, not a 5xx). I've now changed DNS which will hopefully solve the issue. As for dropping the mailing list out of MAINTAINERS then I'd prefer you didn't (of course). But I will not remove the filters on the servers since they remove a lot of spam. If that means it cannot be in MAINTAINERS, then so be it. Rgds Pierre
