Host mailman.ampr.org (where this and other mailing lists are hosted)
has moved from address 199.249.230.93 to 44.76.7.7. This change was
made because the 199.249.230.93 address was being blocked by too
many blacklists due to other activity on the subnet.
Unfortunately, whenever a mail handler such as 'mailman' gets a new
address, it loses all the good will and reputation it has previously
earned in various spam filters, so some recipients may miss out on a
few messages because of over-enthusiastic spam filtering.
There is nothing I know of to enhance its reputation except time.
Your patience is appreciated.

Funny, I found this message in my spam folder... :-)

It ended up marked as spam on my server
Cause: The host name specified in HELO does not match IP address.
You you should fix that.

As I said, time will fix that - it's a question of when the old
address expires out of DNS caches and the new one is learned.
That's likely ok by now, since the DNS TTL was an hour. But
until the email reputation of the new address builds, it's still
quite possible that messages will be marked as spam by some
overzealous anti-spam algorithms.

DNS should be updated by now.
Have you set reverse DNS accordingly?

This is not the case. I run this mail server. It simply checks if HELO
information is valid.

Interesting. When I look up the IP address, the rDNS returns
the correct answer:
% host 44.76.7.7
7.7.76.44.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer mailman.ampr.org.
What happens when you look it up on your host?

Resolves to mailman.ampr.org too.
I will check mail server logs to see if I can find anything interesting.

It *should* be a multi-step process:
1) The Hostmaster sets the TTL cache time setting for the impacted
Resource Record in DNS to less than one hour.
2) The Sysadmin waits until the TTL cache time has gone by. So if it
was set to 3 days, s/he *WAITS* 3 days *before* performing the IP
address cutover. This ASSURES that no one will cache the old IP
addres for more than 1 hour.
3) The SysAdmin executes the IP re-addressing of the desired server.
The Hostmaster also updates the new IP address into the DNS resource
record, but *LEAVES* the TTL cache time set to a SHORT period of
time (1 hour) until users report NO problems with the server at the
new address. In this way *IF* you have to back out the change, and
switch back to the original address, no one will be caching the NEW
address for more than an hour. Keep the impact low....
4) Once it is verified that NO ONE is having problems with the new IP
address and the sevice is fully functional at its new address, the
Hostmaster will up the TTL cache time back to the original setting
(3 days, or whatever).
*NEVER* just switch the IP address of an important server and then
*blame* DNS Cache for unreachability problems, when in reality it was just
poor execution :(
Sure, email from MAILMAN.AMPR.ORG is *not* life saving nor is it going
to affect anyone's lives, but practicing good Sysadmin skills is "A Good
Thing"(tm) :)
Thanks for the work you do,

I completely agree with Jay (WB8TKL) that is the correct way to change a
DNS of a service.
" But why not reconfigure the old server to forward incoming mail to the
new one instead?"

Also one more follow up, if I would recommend flushing the Google cache
which is well connected :
