Just to be sure, check qfiles/virgin/ for any message entries (.pck files).

Also check Mailman's smtp log for the time you ran cron/mailpasswds.
There should be an "smtp to mailman for 1 recips" entry for each
reminder sent. If there aren't any, check the smtp-failure log. If there
are smtp log entries, check the MTA logs.

Also, check the spam/junk folders of the recipients.
