[Mailman-Users] post not logged as 'posted' but appears in archives

[Anne Ramey]

I finally found some errors, in the syslog.
  postfix/smtpd[10144]: warning: connect to mysql server localhost: Too 
many connections

This was trying to resolve aliases, etc and running into too many 
connections.  I can understand how that may interfere with bounce 
processing, but would it interfere with the sending of the list?  How 
can I tell what's been sent and what hasn't ?
