Which means that the incoming MTA delivered the message to mailman as a
"post" and not a "request". If you are sure you are sending to the
-request address, there is something wrong in the MTA.

If this is the cPanel installation we have discussed offline and this
is the list created by 'newlist', then I suspect this is yey another
cPanel issue in that the Mailman router and transport in cPanel's Exim
config don't work properly with non-cPanel created lists.

That's a bit strange. If they were held before as non-member posts,
they should now be either held as "administrivia" or posted to the
list depending on the lists administrivia setting.
