Is admin_immed_notify set to Yes (under Notifications on the General
Options page)?

If so, do you see three entries in Mailman's smtp log similar to the
following from the time the message was held.

>Mar 24 08:50:56 2007 (1570) <mailman.54003.1174755055.1568.listname at example.com> smtp for 1 recips, completed in 0.034 seconds

The first of these is the notice to the poster, the second is the
notice to listname-owner at example.com and the third is the resend of
the listname-owner at example.com message to the actual owners and
moderators.

Note that all three have Mailman gererated Message-Ids and that the 2nd
and third have the same Message-Id which differs from the first only
in that the first numeric field is incremented by 1.
