I'm not clear on what you mean by "the only place I get the message is
locally on the box and not to names listed as members".

Do you mean the message is delivered to Mailman, but not sent out at
all, or do you mean the message is sent out to local users, but remote
users don't receive it? It seems you mean the former, but I'm not sure.

This message has no body. You need an empty line between

Subject: test

and

test

I'm not sure, but it looks like two messages above. The message to the
list which was delivered to the wrapper, and a message to you. What is
the message to you?

Check all of Mailman's logs for anything relevant.

Are there any candidate recipients of the message? I.e. is there a list
regular (not digest) member with delivery enabled who is not the
poster and who is not a direct addressee of the post?
