I dunno.  Subscription looks OK to me:

| > q lstown-l for [log in to unmask]
| Subscription options for Russ Hunt <[log in to unmask]>, list
| LSTOWN-L:
|
| MAIL           You are sent individual postings as they are received
| FULLHDR        Full (normal) mail headers
| REPRO          You receive a copy of your own postings
| NOACK          No acknowledgement of successfully processed postings
|
| Subscription date: 10 Jul 1998
|
| One matching entry found.

LSTOWN-L is peered; perhaps you sent the message to the wrong peer?
(The above 'q lstown-l' response was received from
peach.ease.lsoft.com.)

If you include enough of the headers from the response you got to indicate:

1) Where it came from

        and

2) What email address it was sent to

I can investigate further.
