I do not see the MX records!
   dig @ns1.gnu.org gnuherds.org
   dig @ns2.gnu.org  gnuherds.org


Should something like DomainKeys or SenderID be added to avoid rejected emails 
and spam?  What is the GNU sysadmin police about this?

    gnuherds.org.       IN   TXT  "v=spf1 a mx ~all"
    mail.gnuherds.org.  IN   TXT  "v=spf1 a -all"

I have installed postfix to get out, from the _gnuherds_ host, the emails 
which the own webapp send.

Let me know if you think something must be modified.

We know MailMan can serve mailing lists for several domains at the same time; 
e.g. '@gnu.org', '@nongnu.org', '@gnuherds.org', etc., without having the 
same list name in multiple domains.

Will lists.gnu.org manage the 'association@' list?
  address@hidden
        or
  address@hidden ?

Else we should install MailMan in the gnuherds host and add the 
lists.gnuherds.org to the DNS server. Isn't it?


IMHO, if it is possible, the best option should be add
'address@hidden' to lists.gnu.org


Let us know if we are wrong,
