The log message you're looking for may not have the sender's
address/domain in it. Discards are logged in the vette log with the
message 'Message discarded, msgid: <message-id>'

So exim says it delivered the mail to Mailman so presumably Mailman
discarded it.

There are a few different reason's why Mailman would do this. The only
ones that occur before the post is held for non-member or moderated
member are:

1) Post is from a moderated member and member_moderation_action is
discard (obviously not the reason here).

2) Post is from a non-member (owners and moderators are not members by
default) and the sender address matches an address or pattern in
discard_these_nonmembers.

3) Post matches a header_filter_rules rule with discard action.

4) Post matches a header/regex in the hard coded KNOWN_SPAMMERS list.

Check Privacy options... -> Sender filters -> discard_these_nonmembers
for a pattern that might match domain.

Check Privacy options... -> Spam filters -> header_filter_rules.

Check mm_cfg.py for a KNOWN_SPAMMERS list.
