Umm.. Ben?  Maybe something is screwed up locally, but I fail to find
an A record for listserv.opm.gov, and 2 MX entries, as follows:

listserv.opm.gov.       4158    MX      10 serv1.opm.gov.
listserv.opm.gov.       4158    MX      5 servfwDC.opm.gov.

This may require major tap-dancing, assuming 'servfwDC' is supposed to
do Listserv.  In any case, I would *really* recommend having either
an A record or at least a CNAME to an actual A record for the listserv host.
