Hello all,

I don't understand this.

We use Exim 3.33 and Maiman 2.10
A hour ago I saw this in our exim_mainlog:
(Names (and one IP) are changed for privacy reasons)
2002-05-16 11:11:07 178HHv-0004KR-00 <= Our.User at local.fh-giessen.de H=our.host.fh-giessen.de (Hello) [212.201.x.x] P=esmtp S=11664 id=E178GZW-0003d9-00 at mailserv.fh-giessen.de
2002-05-16 11:11:07 178HHv-0004KR-00 => listname <listname at local.fh-giessen.de> D=list_director T=list_transport
2002-05-16 11:11:07 178HHv-0004KR-00 Completed

This means that Exim has received a message for one of our lists and deliver it to the mailman transport.
But then nothing happens ... 
Mailman seems to do nothing with this message.
He don't infom the list administrator and he does no further posts for this message.
The qfile directory is empty and the locks directory too.
There is no according entry in the post logfile. 

Where is this message gone ?
Is there a circumstance that mailman could receive a mail and discard it 
automatically ?

This is the first time that I note a behaviour like this.
Before using 2.10 we use 2.07 for a long time with no (known)
problems.
Also this list seems apart from these thing to work perfectly.
The same is true for Mailman as a whole.

The only thing I can imagine is that I had forget to do a "new_list"
for this list (cause I had moved mailman to another directory).
But this list don't use public archivs and it seems to work perfectly
(apart from these thing).
