[Mailman-Users] Email sent to list isn't delivered?

Hi,

I installed and configured Mailman on Solaris with Postfix. Everything
seems to work except sending emails to the list :(

I can subscribe to the list and get the confirmation email, also the lists
admin gets an email about the subscription. But when I send an email to the
list nobody on the list gets that email?

After some postfix processing the mail is successfully delivered to
mailman:

mail.info] E95C020807: to=<test-youngguns.nl at stevie.youngguns.nl>, orig_to
=<test at youngguns.nl>, relay=local, delay=3, delays=0.02/0/0/3, dsn=2.0.0,
status=sent (delivered to command: /opt/youngguns/mailman/mail/mailma
n post test)

Mailman is installed in /opt/youngguns/mailman:

When I run as root I only get a warning, no errors:

---
Warning: Private archive directory is other-executable (o+x).
         This could allow other users on your system to read private
archives.
         If you're on a shared multiuser system, you should consult the
         installation manual on how to fix this.
No problems found

The logs directory isn't very helpful. Nothing about my message in here:

The qfiles directory only contains other directories but no files:

---
# find .

./in
./virgin
./out

./bounces

These processes are running for the user mailman:

I really don't have any clue where the messages are going to and why
they're not delivered?
