[Mailman-Users] Not All Subscribers Receiving Daily Email

I added a new mailman list with 4 subscribers. One of the subscribers 
was the same earthlink address as the 600+ subscriber email list.

When a messages was sent to both lists - the earthlink subscriber ONLY 
received the message from the 4 subscriber list.

Seems Mailman is cablable of getting the message out at least on a small 
list. Any idea what the threshold is?

Any other tests that can be done to futher isolate this pesky issue?
