First time I've run into the EX_TEMPFAIL message and had no idea what it
referred to.

listar's logging has, shall we say total lack of of usefull logging to
diagnose problems.

no IPV6 here.
Just got it figured out. It was something I was overlooking. I use the
access file in /etc/mail for spam control and after looking through the
debian list archives via www I ran across someone with an unrelated problem
but read the thread anyway. Ended up that after I added a few lines with all
possible names and IP's of my home LAN with RELAY as the action things
started flowing through listar again. Wierd part is that I've never had a
problem with the lines not being there before and the error messages I was
seeing in the logs didn't even hint to this being the problem. Simple fix
but a real booger to track down.
Thanks for your fast reply.
