I haven't got a RH7 system to experiment with, but I have heard of all
kinds of other problems with RH7.  IIRC, they shipped a buggy libc
that was never intended to be in production.

You've done some tracing of the message through the system, and you
know that sendmail gets the incoming message and hands it off ot
Mailman.  So, is the message sitting in the qfiles directory?  That
might point to a problem with cron for example.  Or maybe your upgrade
lost your crontab entries, which are required to get qrunner to clear
your queue.
