[Mailman-Users] Posts from listowner address issue

[J.A. Terranson]

Good Morning,

	Last night our colo came down for routine maintenace, when 
everything came back up, I noticed a *really* strange issue:

listowner address sends a "Maintenance Over" message to a bunch of 
machines/lists.

On one machine with 4 lists, owneraddress posting shows up in archives, 
but owner never sees copy, nor any postings from this list (while shecking 
archives I realized the list was very active, but I was not seeing the 
posts being distributed).

Looking in logs/smtp, I see no sign of the messages from owner that are 
clearly in the archives!  In logs/error, I see that when the machine came 
up there are intermittent errors that look like:

Dec 20 01:35:17 2008 (633) Uncaught runner exception: [Errno 2] No such

but nothing like that anywhere around the time of my "We're up, right?" 
test posts.

logs/bounce has no sign of trouble.
logs/smtp-failure is empty
logs/qrunner says:

logs/mischief is empty
logs/postfix is empty

I'm just lost.  It looks like everyone but listowner is getting through: I 
see replies.

I did a quick check_perm, and we're fine..

Help?
