As far as gmail is concerned, see the FAQs at
<http://wiki.list.org/x/2IA9> and <http://wiki.list.org/x/4oA9>.

In any case, there's little if anything you can do about these things
from your end.

If the list's subscribe_policy is 'Confirm and approve' you won't see
an approval notice until after the user confirms which may explain why
you don't see those.

Only the hosting service has access to the various Mailman and MTA logs
that would help determine whether or not messages are actually being
sent. If messages are not being sent, only the hosting service can
determine why and fix it, although we will try to help if they contact
us.

If messages are being sent and accepted by the recipient's MX servers
but not being delivered to the recipients, the FAQ at
<http://wiki.list.org/x/4oA9> may help. Otherwise, the most effective
approach is for the recipients to complain to their respective ISPs,
at least if they are paying for mail service.
