The problem is the exclamation point in the name of your list. While this
is in  theory a legal  RFC822 character, it  has special meaning  to most
unix  mail programs.  It's particularly  bad at  the end  of the  address
because it is parsed as an empty UUCP  node name and you may get a syntax
error.
