You could start by looking at:

1. verifying you have installed Mailman's crontab on the new machine (and 
removed them from the old one?).

2. in Mailman $prefix/logs/qrunner to verify it is running regularly.

2. in your MTA log to see if it is delivering to Mailman.

3. in Mailman's $prefix/logs/post for entries corresponding to the maillog 
entries

4. in Mailman's preifx/logs/smtp for entrie corresponding to the logs/post 
entries
