Hi Rick:

Are you using mailman on a shared hosting platform? If so ask your hosting
provider to check their log files to see if your posts were sent to these
addresses. I guess the first thing I would try to determine is whether or
not your posts are leaving the server and not being queued due to some sort
of delivery problem. If they are being delivered by the server, then it will
be more difficult to troubleshoot.

This is more likely a mail transport issue then a mailman problem.

Regards,
Brian
