[Mailman-Users] Message received by mailman and archives, but won't deliver

Further clarification on this problem.

It turns out that not everything is showing in the post log. After a
certain amount of time, the messages that are not getting through
appear in qfiles/out/*.pck

I turned debug=1 in SMTPDirect.py but haven't uncovered anything.

This is nuts, I'm willing to entertain even crazy speculation at this point.
