I have to second that, the same for me. The only way to access this list is via
gmane, otherwise orbitl.com (a Ceylon-based anti-spamming list) will jump in. We
have a dynamic address, so this list seems ban whole ranges.

I have tried to remove me from orbitl; it may have worked or not, because of the
dynamic address I do not always track. I tried to contact the webmaster at ETH
twice, but got no response. 

This is an annoyance; I know that I should contact orbitl every time, but since
that organization is a mess, it better would be removed from the ETH
anti-spamming list.

Perhaps you have recently switched to gmail?  It's a "feature" of
gmail that you won't see your mails to a mailing list until someone
replies to them.  (I think this is because gmail only stores one copy
of the message, and that message appears only in your sent mail until
it gets a reply).
