This was the response I had received from Hostmonster.
Hostmonster - The emails sent via Mailman use the IP address 127.0.0.1, which is the default IP address of the server. Unfortunately, when emails from this address are dropped due to mailing list restrictions, it becomes challenging to lift these restrictions, thereby preventing us from resolving the Mailman-related issues effectively.
What mailing list restrictions?
The above makes no sense. It is a boilerplate response from some person or thing that has no understanding of the issue.
Currently when the emails are sent from mailing lists, then those emails will be marked as spam, even though the user didn’t send large volume of emails from the server.
I think this is talking about mail delivered from the mailing list to the end recipient. As I understand your OP, Mailman's mail was not being sent to external recipients, i.e. not being sent rather thyan being sent and marked as spam by the recipient ISP.
That said I manage multiple Mailman servers and for the most part, our list mail, including mail from this list, is not marked as spam by the recipients. This should not be an issue for servers that are properly configured MTAs, publish appropriate SPF and DKIM sign outgoing list mail
We have observed similar issues from other customers using MailMan for bulk emailing. I am afraid, there is currently no workaround for this issue when using MailMan. Given these challenges, I kindly request you to consider an alternative solution, such as phpList over Mailman, for bulk email management.
I am guessing that your problem started when hostmonster was taken over by Bluehost. If that's the case, I suggest that Bluehost is unwilling or unable to support Mailman and I suggest your appropriate solution is to find a host that does support Mailman. Hopefully, Bluehost will provide your lists' config.pck file(s) and archive mailboxes for a transition.
If not, see the mailman-subscribers.py or mailman-subscribers3.py scripts at https://www.msapiro.net/scripts/ (mirrored at https://fog.ccsf.edu/~msapiro/scripts/) which can at least get you the list membership by screen scraping the admin web UI.
