(thanks)

In this case, the mail gets to the archive so it has been delivered to
Mailman and processing has gotten fairly far along, but the mail isn't
going back out.

Does any mail go out, e.g. subscription confirmations or other notices?
If not, it is likely an outgoing mail problem. Look in Mailman's smtp
and smtp-failure logs in addition to the error log.

If some mail goes out, but not posts, maybe everyone is on digest and
no digest has been sent yet.

Also, go to the FAQ wizard
>Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py
and search for 'troubleshooting' or 'no mail' (without quotes).
