[Mailman-Users] Messages not delivered

[Robert Haack]

I've been doing some testing and here is what I've found in addition to

what's below:

I sent a message to 6 lists titled test, testtwo, test3, test_4, test_5, 
and test_6.  On a consistent basis it appears that only 4 of these lists 
get the message.  If I look at my postfix log I see that the message was 
processed successfully yet when I look in the mailman/qfiles/in 
directory I only see the message come through to 4 of the 6 lists (I 
know this partly because the message get stuck in the que).  It's not 
the same 4 lists each time that the message comes through to either and 
there are no messages in any of the other directories under qfiles/.  I 
see nothing in the Mailman log files that indicates any error.  It's 
almost like postfix hands the message off to Mailman and then things go 
haywire.

Any ideas appreciated.

Thank You
