Ya, this isn't an issue.  No one can control their membership
in the list.  I subscribe people from database report of email addresses
just before the message goes out.  I tried your suggestion
anyway and the count is still 577.

This is really a question for Postfix resources. If Mailman says it

Oh dear, that could be difficult to "prove" to Postfix peoples.
Is there a way to get more verbose logging of what mailman
is delivering other than what the mail server reports?
That way I could compare the two and see
which is dropping the ball.
