[PLUG] Mail, Maillists, and Web site: DNS Issues

   This may be an intractable issue, or it may have a solution not visible to
me from my non-professional perspective.

   My Web site is hosted at aracnet, and that's where Mailman is installed
and four maillists (for non-profit orgs, not my bueiness) established. The
IP address is that of the Web site.

   The MX for my mail has a diffeent IP address; the local one that Frontier
changes a number of times each evening and night.

   Testing the maillists fails because they're hosted at the Web site IP
address and the MX for my mail is a different IP address; mail cannot be
delivered properly.

   I could install and configure Mailman here, but do not have apache open to
the world. Configuring it securely, and keeping it secure, would be a burden
on my time since that's not part of my core business.

   Might there be a solution for this DNS conflict that would not require
major time and effort to maintain?
