I ran into the same type of problem a while back. An admittedly
limited investigation indicated that this is a Debian specific
problem. We grabbed the 2.1.4 source, built Mailman from scratch
on the same machine, and the problem went away. Not a great
solution if you are trying stay pure with debian packages, but
it seems to work fine.
