Note that your "personal" E-mail probably was directly-delivered,
using TCP/IP, rather than following the path which LISTSERV uses,
i.e., through the JANET-gateway.
So, different paths opens the possibility of different results.

I've noticed that neither of the Internet name-servers for this domain
(i.e., 'EAGLE.QUB.AC.UK' or 'NETCTRAL.QUB.AC.UK') are responding.
Thus, no(!) E-mail for any host within this domain will get delivered.
