I am having a problem with messages sometimes being silently dropped after being approved.
I don't know if this is happening in your case, but one way this can happen is if content filtering discards the message after it is approved. Content filtering is not normally applied until after moderation and other holds are checked, so an approved post can still have all its content removed by content filtering and then be handled according to filter_action.
It turned out that it was entirely my fault -- I had made some modifications to LDAPMemberships.py, and hadn't thought things through quite well enough -- there were some circumstances in which it would report that the mailing list had no members, in which case (of course) no one would get the mail! What confused me a little was that the problem didn't affect the web interface, so the member list always seemed correct.
So, it was a purely local phenomenon :-)
