Do you have access to the system logs on the machine mailman is
running on? Can you check mailman's vette log (someone correct me if
I'm wrong, please) to see what's happening to the messages you post?

Is the machine handling mail for mydomain.com the same machine as that
on which mailman runs?
Can you check your MTA (e.g., sendmail, postfix, exim, or qmail) logs
to see what's happening to the request you send to listname-leave?
