The path that email takes from one machine to another will go through
different nodes at different times. Thus, sometimes your email takes routes
where every machine along the way knows of lists.html.com, but other times
it'll end up on a machine which either doesn't know of lists.html.com, or
doesn't like the setup of lists.html.com.

Give it a few days. The Internet doesn't believe in having configuration
changes reflected instantly, you know... there's a definate propagation
speed, and it's _slow_...
