On the other hand, messages sent to non-moderated lists by subscribers are sent out to the entire list without a problem. In addition, individuals who send to a moderated list receive an email that their message has been held pending admin approval. So, just the two pieces are not working.

The daily notices are sent by Mailman's cron/checkdbs. Is this being
run? If you can, check the systems cron log.

If the user notification of the held message is sent, but the admin
notice is not and the list's admin_immed_notify is Yes, there is
probably some exception being thrown in
Mailman.Handlers.Hold.hold_for_approval() between sending the user
notice and the admin notice. If you can, check Mailman's error log.
