The problem is that a bug which has subsequently been fixed has allowed
a user's email address to be stored with a lower-case local part and a
mixed case domain. This confuses Mailman's membership tests.

See the end of the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/UIA9> which will
point you to a script that will fix this.
