A really strange problem.... I wonder if anyone has seen anything similar, or can offer any clues.
(Mailman 2.1.1)
I have over a hundred mailing lists.
List members can all post OK to the list The messages all appear in the archives for each list.
However.....
User A receives mail from some lists, but not from others User B ditto (but not the same lists necessarily).
Therefore there is nothing wrong with the user's address or ISP. The problem exists with hundreds of users, (but not all).
Some lists post messages out to all users Some lists post messages out to *some* users Some lists do not appear to post out any messages
There seems to be no reason, and no logic to the thing?
When a user doesn't receive list mail, unsubscribing, and then subscribing again doesn't make any difference.
Nothing has been changed in any configuration in MailMan, and no new lists have been added for a few months. Hard disks are nowhere near full. The problem began about a week ago.
Does anyone have any ideas??

Check your MTA logs. Find out which ISPs are having problems,
and try enabling VERP for a brief period of time to determine if the problems are limited to only some ISPs.
Note that certain ISPs have anti-spam features that result in
silently throwing away e-mail (especially AOL), so keep that in mind.

No.. They are not limited to only some ISPs. I have verified that.
john.doe@isp1.com will receive mail from one of the lists and not another list.
jane.doe@isp1.com will receive mail from the second list, but not the first one.

I thought that it might be that at first. But not so. Nor is it the user using any anti-spam software.

As an experiment....
I subscribed to one of the "problem" lists using a different email address.... posted a test message.... and received it normally.
But if I unsubscribe using the problem email address, and subscribe again using that address, then the list mail isn't received.
But.... that "problem" email address works fine receiving mail from other lists.
Very weird.

I am still struggling with this problem.
Suggestions are still *very* welcome please.
