Sorry, I don't have any quick answers -- just more questions.

Which web browser, and on which OS?  Which web server, and on which OS?
What does your web server log say?  Anything weird like an HTTP proxy
server in the way?  Have you tried running a packet tracer (I like
ethereal myself) to the traffic between web browser and server to make
sure it looks sane?

AFAIK Mailman does not use syslog, so /var/log/* should be irrelevant.

Do look in ~mailman/data though -- that's where it stores pending
messages.  When you approve/reject/discard a message, a file should
disappear from that directory (I think).
