	Regretfully, unless you want to go into the Mailman source code 
and add commands to create more logging information, I don't believe 
that there is anything else you can do to get Mailman to produce more 
logging information than you're already getting.

	However, you can certainly turn up the logging within sendmail. 
That might provide some extra clues that could help you figure out 
what the problem is.  This could include getting more detail from the 
MTA side about the conversation it is having with Mailman.  I know 
that's only one side of the conversation, but it could still be 
useful.


	I'm sorry, I've been doing mail systems administration for about 
thirteen years now (working primarily with sendmail and postfix), and 
this still smells like an MTA problem to me.
