strange interaction between mailman and google docs
I am seeing a strange problem and I am wondering if someone has any idea. I am using google docs to create a newsletter which I then send to a mailman mailing list.
Within google docs I use the feature "Email as attachment" to send to the list. The mailman list has about 1000 addresses some of which are gmail addresses and some are not (yahoo, hotmail, etc.)
Well, the email from google docs is *only* received by the gmail addresses in the mailing list but *not* by any of the other addresses.
If I send the email with the attachment from google docs to a *single* non-google email, then I see no problems. If I send the email with the attachment from gmail (outside of google docs) to the entire list I see no problems.
The problem is only *from google docs to non-google email in mailman list*
Ideas?
Thank you! Antonella

Is the mailman list on a server you have access to? If so, what is in the MTA logs on that server for one of these messages? What is in Mailman's bounce log?

It is difficult to even guess what might be happening without more information. Someone needs to look at logs on the Mailman server to see what is happening to the message to non-gmail recipients. I'm certain Mailman is sending it so what is the outgoing MTA doing with it. Is it being delivered to the MX servers for the non-gmail recipients?

If your Google (docs) account is one that is a member of one of the plans that has access to the Google email log search, there might be some light in there, too (https://support.google.com/a/answer/2604578?hl=en).
