Do you receive other people's posts? Do others receive yours?

This is not what controls this. The option that controls receiving your
own posts is "not metoo".

I don't see an error. I see a message sent to a spam filter and removed
from the queue and then a message relayed to bigiron.ucsd.edu and then
removed from the queue

If you didn't run fix_url on the list, changing DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST
should do nothing. If you did run fix_url or otherwise change the
list's host_name attribute, this will affect the domain of the
envelope sender of posts which may affect acceptance by the MTA, but I
don't see this in the log.

I assume you mean /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py

Seems OK.
