You need to check the MTAs logs to find out whether the message even arrived
on the Mailman machine, and if so what happened to it.  If it got there and
was sent to Mailman in the usual way, then check the Mailman post log and
some of the others.

If you don't have access to the machine, this will be more difficult (or
more expensive, if the provider charges you for their time).
