Are the messages being held for some reason?

If the message is not held and not posted to the list, it must be
rejected or discarded. Check Mailman's vette log. If the message is
discarded (or held), there will be an entry in the vette log. If there
is no such entry, and the message didn't reach the list, it must have
been rejected and a notice should have been sent to the sender. If
this is not happening, I don't know why.

You can also check Mailman's error log to be sure there wasn't a
processing error of some sort causing the message to be shunted.
