I don't think any of this matters because the problem is with outgoing
mail. These all have to do with delivering incoming mail to Mailman
which is working as posts are reaching the archive.

Good question.

I created this one in January, my test posts show up in the online archives.  But no mail seems to be getting off the server -- from this mailman installation, even as mail sent from the command line and mail sent with the Leyland list is getting out.  The MTA is postfix.

Good.

So there's nothing at all in the Postfix logs? Not even a startup
message? Are you sure these are the right logs?

Check Mailman's post, smtp and smtp-failure logs. In particular, if
smtp says "smtp for n recips, completed" the post was given to the MTA
and it's out of Mailman's hands.

Is there anything im Mailman's error log? Is anything in qfiles/out/ or
qfiles/retry/?
