Thanks.  I would have done it but I have seeked on the wrong place (was
watching for a config file).

Well, the DNS problem is definitely solved - this must be some other
problem - no idea what. :-(

BTW, at DebConf I had some interesting chat with

   Alexandre Delanoë (http://alexandre.delanoe.org)

who had some quite interesting research done about the length of
threads.  He needs message IDs for his research.  IMHO we do have this
in our database but I'm not fully sure whether this is only the case for
those mailing lists were we have the mbox files.  Perhaps we need to
talk again to listmaster about publishing mboxes after striping down the
metainformation to the really needed part.  The code was written but we
somehow lost track upon this.

Kind regards

     Andreas.

PS: Alexandre, it would be cool if you could some hints about your
    research here on this list.
