Are you looking at the right logs? i.e. are there lots of current
entries in Mailman's post and smtp logs that you're looking at.

If not, you're not looking at the right logs. RedHat normally puts them
in /var/log/mailman/.

If so, are you sure there is nothing in Mailman's error log and nothing
unusual in Mailman's qrunner and vette logs?

What's in qfiles/in? If it is not empty, what does

ps -fAw | grep Incoming

show? If it shows a runner with the option --runner=IncomingRunner:0:1,
then it's OK, but if it shows any number other than 1 in the third
colon-delimited field of the --runner option, see the last paragraph
of section 5b of FAQ 4.78.
