Thank you for the reply and suggestions.
I thought the problem had something to do with Mailman and, therefore, posted a message seeking help.
However, I have now discovered that the problem was not with Mailman but with the domain name of the list. The list used the domain name ncsi.iisc.ernet.in. The postings to the list were made to lis-forum@ncsi.iisc.ernet.in, which used the institution's email relay server to send the emails to the lis. The network team has informed us that the service of the relay server has been shut down. That explains why postings to the list are not reaching.
I now need to migrate the list to a new domain. Please let me know the steps that should be followed to ensure a smooth transition and carry forward the list's archive. Also, can we redirect messages posted to the old domain to the new one?
Many thanks for the help and guidance.
- Francis

Thank you for your guidance. I created a new list. I'm able to subscribe and unsubscribe members to the new list. Emails are received when a member subscribes and unsubscribes to the new list. So, there are no issues with the relay host. However, when a message is posted, nothing happens.
I checked the /var/log/mailman folder. The following three files are updated as of today (16 Nov), and there isn't any clue as to why the lists are not receiving the postings.
-rw-rw-r-- 1 list list 1432 Nov 16 16:44 smtp -rw-rw-r-- 1 list list 85623 Nov 16 16:44 subscribe -rw-rw-r-- 1 list list 9431 Nov 16 14:11 qrunner
What's in the smtp log?
Also, look at your MTA log to see what happens to the messages sent to
the list. They should be delivered to a command like
/path/to/mailman/mail/mailman post LISTNAME
