There are a couple of possibilities. The entries in
regular_exclude_lists must match (case insensitively) the list posting
address found in To: or Cc: to be excluded. I.e., it is the list
posting email address, not just the name.

The other catch is if this is someone's patched Mailman (e.g. cPanel)
where the list posting address is say list at example.com, but the actual
list name as in the web URLs has a domain appended, e.g.
list_example.com, the Sibling lists feature won't work unless that too
is patched.

So, what is the source of this Mailman? Does it perhaps identify itself
as 2.1.11cp1? Does it append the domain to the listname 'behind the
scenes'?
