Yeah, but what have you done to iptables?  /sbin/iptables symlinks to
xtables-multi, and that's zero-sized with a timestamp of today.
iptables are managed with service iptables-persistent, and rules are
stored in /etc/iptables/rules.v4.  Except they can't be managed
because /sbin/iptables is broken.

Yeah, the vhost for lists had the wrong VirtualHost binding stanza;
that's fixed, and everything else is fine.
