And as I suggested previously, everything here is consistent with that
message having been held for moderator approval and not approved for
some time.

And as Hank points out in another reply, You show the sendmail log
entries for the delivery to Mailman with id m3EJJgII032663 which is
the header below, but where are the entries for the above id
m3ELf9u3001743 which is the delivery from Mailman?

These are notices generated from Mailman about messages. Neither of
these is the delivery from Mailman of the post. What is the smtp log
entry containing the message id
<2DE012B637518B4BB1F1C1F4AA570FB802148BC1 at ENG-EXCHANGE1.ad.bu.edu>?

Also, is there an X-Mailman-Approved-At: header in the received message?

Is there anything in Mailman's vette log about this message?
