Only unmoderated messages getting to list?
Today we've noticed that messages we've approved aren't getting sent out by the list, or at least they aren't being received by list members.
I sent a couple of test messages to the list, and they got sent out ok. What could be happening that only allows unmoderated messages through?
There haven't been a lot of messages involved yet. Maybe three moderated messages have gone astray, from three different members, one of whom is a moderator.
We're on v2.1.23.

Are they archived?

What's in Mailman's 'vette' and 'error' logs from the time of approval.
One possibility is the messages held and approved were subsequently discarded by content filtering. This can happen for example if the message is HTML only, content filtering doesn't accept text/html and filter_action is discard. This and other possibilities will be logged in the vette log.

Can I get at those logs via cPanel?
Since I emailed, an approved message got through. Two of the three affected emails were from non members. We allow non members to post because some people just don’t bother subscribing.
The sender of an affected email subscribed and sent another email, and after being approved, it got through.

If you can access the underlying file system, the logs are in /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/logs.
You can't access them directly via the control panel.

It's not possible to know what's going on without seeing the logs. If you don't have access to them and the issue persists, you'll have to contact your hosting provider for help.

Does the list have archives (public or private)? Are the messages showing up there?
Are the messages "not being sent out" from @gmail.com addresses? GMail "tosses" messages a poster from gmail sends when it comes back to that poster. The message does get delivered to everyone else.

I have several non gmail addresses I use to test with, and they're not receiving them either.
