That's not the right query - do this:

  dig @ns1.gnu.org MX gnuherds.org
  dig @ns2.gnu.org MX gnuherds.org

You'll see the MX records point to the FSF mailservers. That's necessary
because otherwise we can't send the address@hidden mailing list to
the right place (i.e. lists.gnu.org). All other @gnuherds.org mail is routed
to your domU, so you can handle it there as you wish.

Also, I've just created the address@hidden mailing list:

  http://lists.gnuherds.org/mailman/listinfo/association/

Davi, you will have received the initial administration password; please
change that.

The list address is address@hidden

OK?

Thanks,
Ward.
