In Mailman's logs. Particularly 'error', 'post', 'smtp' and
'smtp-failure'. Where they are depends on how Mailman was installed,
possibly /usr/lib/mailman/logs/ or /var/lib/mailman/logs/ or
/var/log/mailman/ or elsewhere depending on how Mailman was
configured/packaged.

If there is no error or smtp failure and there are entries in the 'post'
and 'smtp' logs, then the message was delivered to the outgoing MTA.
