[Mailman-Users] Some lists no longer archiving new messages

Thank you Mark, just had to change owner from Root to Mailman, deleted the shunted messages that I had already imported manually and ran the unshunt command on the rest!

Worked like a charm!

I suspect a permissions issue on archives/private/LIST.mbox/LIST.mbox,
but there should be errors and tracebacks in mailman's error log and
shunted messages in the shunt queue. If you have the RedHat package,
these are /var/log/mailman/error and /var/spool/mailman/shunt respectively.

If you can't figure out what the problem is from the error log, post the
info here. Once you have fixed the problem you can run unshunt
(/usr/lib/mailman/bin/unshunt) to archive the shunted messages, but
first you may want to examine them with /usr/lib/mailman/bin/show_qfiles
to ensure that all of them should be unshunted and there are none from
older, unrelated errors.
