[Mailman-Users] Still sticking: gmail => fetchmail => mailman => postfix

After a reinstall, it appears that most of the earlier problems have cleared.

Creation of new lists and new subscriptions results in the proper 
sending of notices through Postfix.

Running Fetchmail appears to download mail, but it never gets sent out.

I've tried a number of variations of fetchmailrc including:

poll pop.gmail.com with protocol POP3 port 995
username "testlist at austinzencenter.com"  there with password "xxxxxxx"
is "testlist" here
and options ssl  sslcertck  sslcertpath  /usr/local/certs

with

testlist: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post testlist"

in /etc/aliases

as well as:

poll pop.gmail.com with protocol POP3 port 995
username "testlist at austinzencenter.com"  there with password "xxxxxxx"
and options ssl  sslcertck  sslcertpath  /usr/local/certs
mda "/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post testlist"

and for good measure:

poll pop.gmail.com with protocol POP3 port 995
username "testlist at austinzencenter.com"  there with password "xxxxxxx"
is "testlist" here
and options ssl  sslcertck  sslcertpath  /usr/local/certs
mda "/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post testlist"


with testlist: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post testlist"

in /etc/aliases

The aliasing appears to work in a separate test as well.

I'm assuming that the problem is with the fetchmail => mailman link. 
Is there another way to test the mailman => postfix link, such as 
manually inserting a list post to be processed?

Thanks.
