Ideally, whenever there is any pending moderator request (too many recipients, post by non-member, etc) I would like the moderator to be immediately notified. I have done my best to configure it this way, but it's not working, and I'm not sure what to try next.
I have a moderator address entered in both the "owner" and "moderator" fields. I have "admin_immed_notify" = yes. I confirmed it's a valid email address by sending test mail to it.
The only thing I can think of is the From address. If it's sending From an invalid name or something, then the recipient spam filter might be rejecting it based on invalid reverse DNS or SPF or something. So ... How can I know From what address the moderator requests will be sent?
And any other ideas to figure out what's going wrong?
Thanks...

Putting the same address in both fields is redundant. Putting the address in 'owner' only should suffice.

Good.

Confirmed what address? Did you mail to LISTNAME-owner@...? If so, tid the owners/moderators receive the mail?

The original message is From: LISTNAME-owner@... and To: LISTNAME-owner@... and the envelope is from LISTNAME-bounces@...
This then should be received by Mailman and resent to the actual owner and moderator addresses with the same From: and To: headers, but with envelope from SITELIST-bounces@... where 'SITELIST' is usually 'mailman'.
And any other ideas to figure out what's going wrong?
Check the MTA logs to see if the message was actually sent. If you don't have access to the logs, verify that you can send a message to LISTNAME-owner@... and receive it at the owner/moderator addresses. If not, contact your hosting service.
