Shesh.  That's just a few mailing list managers.

Are you sure that you are set to receive your own posts to the mailing list?  MM has an option for subscribers to not receive their own posts and I can not recall what the default is.  I also believe there is a site config default for the value over the source code default.

I am presently using MailMan with Sendmail 8.13.8 with out any problems.  I have MM configured as a mailer.  I have all my mailing lists on a separate domain that is configured to relay through Sendmail.  I use Mailertable to tell Sendmail to use a separate mailer, verses SMTP, to relay messages for my MM sub domains.  Note, the mailer config does not use Sendmail.py to deliver messages.

You are welcome.
