[Mailman-Users] Admin approval messages not being sent

[Christopher Adams]

I see the message in the Mailman smtp log going to the list and the two
list owners. I also see the message directed to the list owner address in
the MTA logs. However, the message is not actually being delivered to the
list owner via the alias. I have discovered that, using owner addresses
outside of our subnet work for getting confirmation approvals. However,
they don't for addresses inside our subnet. That is strange because the
owner addresses are deliverable and receive mail through list traffic via
Mailman.
