You can edit Mailman/Queue/IncomingRunner.py as follows:

Find the code in the do_pipeline() method that says

            except Errors.DiscardMessage:
                # Throw the message away; we need do nothing else with
it.
                syslog('vette', 'Message discarded, msgid: %s',
                       msg.get('message-id', 'n/a'))
                return 0

and change it to

            except Errors.DiscardMessage:
                # Throw the message away; we need do nothing else with
it.
                syslog('vette', 'Message discarded by %s, msgid: %s',
                       handler, msg.get('message-id', 'n/a'))
                return 0

and then restart Mailman.

This will add the name of the handler to the vette log message. Then,
at least we know what to look at.

The attached patch.txt is an actual patch for the above change.
