Have you check through the mailman logs? You should see the message 
being held (and released) in the 'vette' log and then you should see it 
go out in the 'smtp' log. If you don't see the message in the 'smtp' 
log, check 'smtp-failures'. If you DO see it in the 'smtp' log then 
check your postfix log. You should be able to follow the message 
through the smtp-id of the message.
