I'm not sure if this is better, but if your Python is 2.4 or later, see
<http://wiki.list.org/x/-IA9> for a patch that can be applied to
Mailman/Handlers/SMTPDirect.py to produce copious debugging output
from Python's smtplib to Mailman's error log

Just for curiosity, try the following:

bin/list_members listname >file1
sort -f file1 >file2
sort -f -u file1 >file3
diff file2 file3

You could also patch Mailman/Handlers/SMTPDirect.py to add

    syslog.write('smtp', 'recips this chunk = %d', len(recips))

at the end of the module as the last line of bulkdeliver which will
give you Mailman's count per chunk to compare with Postfix. You could
even add

    syslog.write('smtp', 'recipient list %s', recips)

to list the recipients of the chunk.
