[Mailman-Users] some users not getting posted email message

[Jon Carnes]

You should go ahead and upgrade to the latest version of Mailman
(v2.0.13).  

Also, you can edit the file ~mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py and modify the
value for: SMTP_MAX_RCPTS = 500 and change it to 1
  SMTP_MAX_RCPTS = 1

This will leave a trace for each individual email on the list.  You only
need to set this to 1 while you are testing (and really it's not
necessary but it does help you trace each individual email).

Next when you send a message, you should look in your qmail log files to
see if every message is making it from Mailman to qmail. If they are all
making it to qmail, then the problem lays outside mailman.

If they don't make it to qmail, then the problem is either in mailman or
in the hand-off from mailman to qmail.
