In you ~mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py and Defaults.py what is the value of your
Delivery defaults?
===
#####
# Delivery defaults
#####

# Delivery module for the message pipeline.  See
# Mailman/Handlers/HandlerAPI.py for details.  Unless overridden
specifically
# in that module, this handler is used for message delivery to the list, and
# to an individual user.  This value must be a string naming a module in the
# Mailman.Handlers package.
#
# SECURITY WARNING: The Sendmail module is not secure!  Please read the
# comments in Mailman/Handlers/Sendmail.py for details.  Use at your own
# risk.
#
#DELIVERY_MODULE = 'Sendmail'
DELIVERY_MODULE = 'SMTPDirect'

# Ceiling on the number of recipients that can be specified in a single SMTP
# transaction.  Set to 0 to submit the entire recipient list in one
# transaction.  Only used with the SMTPDirect DELIVERY_MODULE.
SMTP_MAX_RCPTS = 500

# Maximum number of simulatenous subthreads that will be used for SMTP
# delivery.  After the recipients list is chunked according to
SMTP_MAX_RCPTS,
# each chunk is handed off to the smptd by a separate such thread.  If your
# Python interpreter was not built for threads, this feature is disabled.
You
# can explicitly disable it in all cases by setting MAX_DELIVERY_THREADS to
# 0.  This feature is only supported with the SMTPDirect DELIVERY_MODULE.
#
# NOTE: This is an experimental feature and limited testing shows that it
may
# in fact degrade performance, possibly due to Python's global interpreter
# lock.  Use with caution.
MAX_DELIVERY_THREADS = 0

# SMTP host and port, when DELIVERY_MODULE is 'SMTPDirect'
SMTPHOST = 'localhost'
SMTPPORT = 0                                      # default from smtplib

# Command for direct command pipe delivery to sendmail compatible program,
# when DELIVERY_MODULE is 'Sendmail'.
SENDMAIL_CMD = '/usr/lib/sendmail'

# Allow for handling of MTA-specific features (i.e. aliases).  Most MTAs use
# "sendmail" (including Sendmail, Postfix, and Exim).  Qmail uses the
"qmail"
# style.
