Hi,
I have a customer that uses Mailman on their VPS (Virtual Private
Server) running the Plesk Control Panel. After a recent upgrade of
Plesk, they can no longer send a single email to multiple lists.
Supposedly, this worked prior to the upgrade.
For example, if they send a message to list1@domain.com and 'CC' list2@domain.com, only list1 recipients receive the email. I was able to reproduce this behavior on a test VPS we have available here at our office. I'm able to send to each test list individually but when I send to one list and 'CC' the other, I only receive emails from the first list.
The mail server logs show the initial email going out to both list addresses so I'm not sure why one is being "dropped" after reaching mailman. I experimented with the Mailman Privacy Options | Recipient Filters and set "Must posts have list named in destination (to, cc) field (or be among the acceptable alias names, specified below)? " to No for both of my test lists, but this didn't help resolve the issue. <http://lists.geekchk.com/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/test2-list/?VARHELP=privacy/recipient/require_explicit_destination> I'd really appreciate any suggestions!

require_explicit_destination only comes into play if the list not in To: or Cc: which is not the case here. Have you tried putting both list addresses in To:? I assume you've checked and the message is not held for approval by the Cc: list.
Based on your description, I think this must be a new Plesk Mailman feature or bug. Please see the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/tIA9>.
You might also check Mailman's vette log to see if anything is logged about these messages.
