That is what I get to.

For reasons I don't understand your instance of sendmail is *not*  
talking to the MX for lists.oetiker.ch.  For some reason it is  
talking to localhost.

I've snipped a few of your log lines to make the relevant ones more  
obvious:

So that 550 isn't coming from lists.oetiker.ch, but is coming from  
your own host.  Can you mail to any non-local address the way you  
tried to mail to that list address?  My guess is not.

Cheers,
