There's a few reasons that this could be happening (none relating to Mailman 
that I know of)
A> Your DNS records haven't bounced back to you yet (in some cases this can 
take up to 3d to filter through the 'net). 
Personally, I use EveryDNS, with a perl monitor every hour or so. They manage 
to get the ip back and registered usually in < an hour and in some cases MUCH 
less.

B> Your OLD I.P. address is hardcoded into your MTA somewhere (I believe PARTS 
of qmail do this (depending on your distro)).

C> You somehow have your old I.P. address set in your O.S. some other way.
