To what address are you sending the message? The symptoms you describe
are exactly what you'd see if you are sending to listname-owner at ...
instead of listname at ...

If you are sending to the listname at ... address, it might be an alias or
Exim/Mailman integration problem. Exim/Mailman integration is

The FAQ at
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.014.htp
covers some things, but they are for the most part not things a list
owner with only web access to Mailman can do.
