Look in the logs.  You will probably find a log entry saying that the
message was discarded.  Unfortunately, you probably won't find a
reason listed there.

The most probable reason for the discard is that the person violated
the content rules of the list.  A typical scenario is that (1) they
post in HTML-only format, (2) the list is set to strip HTML, and (3)
the message ends up empty of content once the HTML is stripped.
Without seeing your full configuration, and perhaps a sample message,
it's hard to say, though.
