Please keep conversations on the list unless there are specific privacy
concerns.


I assumed from your report of the maillog that mailman is sending to
only one address. Please confirm this by looking in Mailman's smtp log
for the "<message id> smtp for n recips completed in n.nnn seconds"
entry and verifying that n=1. Also look in Mailman's smtp-failure log
to confirm there are no smtp time rejects by Postfix.

Assuming all this is OK and Mailman is sending to just one recipient,
other reasons why a delivery enabled regular member won't be sent a
copy include:

The member has nodups set and is addressed explicitly in To:, Cc:,
Resent-To: or Resent-Cc: of the post.

The post is From: the member and the member has not_metoo set.

The member is subscribed to Topics and the post doesn't match. Note
that it is possible for a member to have a residual topic selection
even if the list currently has no topics defined and this can affect
delivery if the member has not opted to receive posts not matching any
topic.
