There's got to be something in the Mailman and MTA logs.  If not, 
then the configuration was not changed (as you thought you had done).

Much appreciated.

If you want to create additional mail queue subdirectories under 
sendmail, that's a standard thing with the later versions and should 
definitely be described in their documentation.  You don't have to 
worry about this with postfix, since it does that by default 
out-of-the-box.

Yup.

This may or may not make a difference for you.  IIRC, the big point 
of the articles by Chuq were in response to questions about VERP and 
personalization, and going from something like SMTP_MAX_RECIPIENTS=10 
down to SMTP_MAX_RECIPIENTS=1 (e.g., enabling VERP and/or 
personalization).

And Chuq is working from data on some of the biggest known Mailman 
mailing lists, so I'd have very good reason to believe his numbers.
