This is the problem that needs to be fixed.

Which team administers this list and how do we get them to fix it?

There is no reason why the LA server should be one of the weird systems.  I 
don't think it's optimistic to expect that the responsible people will fix 
their problem.  I have got them to fix other problems with the LA servers like 
the one that stopped people using SPF from sending mail to the LA council.

At the same time as sending the first message on this topic I sent an email to 
an NSA employee about getting their list server (which also runs Mailman) 
fixed.  It will be interesting to see if a large and beurocratic organisation 
can fix their mail server faster than LA.

If it doesn't work this time I'll just wait a year and start the discussion 
again.
