Given this, and many other comments, the first thing I would do is to
decouple the lists from the hub.org mail infrastructure. Lists have very
different requirements from "normal mailboxes" in my experience, and
should have a dedicated path. That will also make things easier to track.
Put up a dedicated system (VM) for it. That will make everything easier.

I actually found that page as well before. It's got updates until
2004... (and the whole page is labeled, on the front page, as being old
information..)
So yeah, they definitely have some work to do there.
