Not exactly.  The primary MX server for lists.celestial.com is the machine
that hosts the mailing lists while the seaslug.org machine is at least one
hop away from that machine.  The end result is the same, but there are
three different primary MX forwarders:

               Domain                Primary MX
               lists.celestial.com   diablo.celestial.com
               celestial.com         mx1.celestial.com
               seaslug.org           johngalt.celestial.com
