The cron checkdbs job is not involved in sending the admin_immed_notify
messages, although it should send a "xx approvals waiting" type of
message each time it is run (if xx is not zero).

All these notices are sent first to the listname-owner address and then
when received by mailman at that address, they are resent to the
actual  owners and moderators. Something is going wrong with this
process. Most likely, the alias for the listname-owner address has
something wrong with it.

Try sending a message directly to the listname-owner address and see
what happens to it. Look in Mailman's bounce log and smtp-failure log
(if any) and/or the MTA logs.
