[Mailman-Users] post not logged as 'posted' but appears in archives

[Anne Ramey]

(1) what do the failures mean on a posting log like this:

Jan 21 13:58:38 2005 (1967) post to nc_museum from 
evieweditor at clientaddress.com , size=20128, 3 failures

(2) Is there any way to tell what part of a mailing went and what part 
didn't if the post occurs in archives, but never is "posted" --ie never 
finishes sending...???

(3) does anyone know why incming lookups for aliases might affect 
outgoing mail?
