You should have: 1. The incoming message to the list---I assume that your first log message is this. 2. Transmission by sendmail to the Mailman post address. Both your second and third log entries shown above appear to be this, but for two different messages. Note the m3EJJgII032663: identifier in your first two messages. These match, so are the same message. When Mailman sends outgoing mail, you should see messages with from=<everyone-bounces> Pick up the identifier on that message and find log entries that match it. Here is a ferinstane of a message to a yahoo.com lister that is being deferred by yahoo. 1. Mailman sends message to sendmail for delivery to yahoo.com Apr 16 10:30:52 julie sendmail[14680]: [ID 801593 mail.info] m3GGR9as014680: fro m=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=15494, class=-30, nrcpts=1, msgid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA-v 4, relay=localhost [127.0.0.1] 2. First attempt to deliver: Apr 16 10:34:38 julie sendmail[15894]: [ID 801593 mail.info] m3GGR9as014680: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, delay=00:03:46, xdelay=00:03:46, mailer=esmtp, pri=189494, relay=g.mx.mail.yahoo.com. [209.191.88.239], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred 2. Second attempt to deliver: Apr 16 11:18:26 julie sendmail[19203]: [ID 801593 mail.info] m3GGR9as014680: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, delay=00:47:34, xdelay=00:00:00,mailer=esmtp, pri=279494, relay=b.mx.mail.yahoo.com., dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred 3. Nth attempt to deliver: Apr 16 13:17:51 julie sendmail[27648]: [ID 801593 mail.info] m3GGR9as014680: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, delay=02:46:59, xdelay=00:00:00,mailer=esmtp, pri=459494, relay=b.mx.mail.yahoo.com., dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred Note that what keys these messages together is the ident string m3GGR9as014680: You'll note that the last delay is delay=02:46:59 This is a yahoo.com problem which we can't solve at the sending end. Obviously, the listmember won't get the mail message until yahoo agrees to accept it. I've cited a "problem delivery" that I am working at this end and trying to get yahoo.com to do something about. Look for stat=Deferred in your system. In any event you need to examine the outgoing mail messages, as well as the incoming. There are several hundred log lines between these attempts, so you will have to search on the ident string to find the affected messages.
