This is not the message to Mailman. It is some kind of notice being sent from Mailman to someone (the Message-ID is a Mailman generated message id). It may be a reject notice to a poster or a notice of some kind to the list owner or completely unrelated to the 'missing' post. >There are no other log entries for that message - nothing in vette or >error.

Are there any other >logs that I can check to discover what went wrong? The message to 1 recipient was not the post. As I said above, it was a mailman generated notice, possibly about the post. Find this message in your MTA logs and see who it was delivered to for clues. If it is a rejected post, there won't be anything else in Mailman's logs. My best guess is the post was rejected for some reason and the message to 1 recipient was the rejection notice. It seems unlikely that the rejection is related to the address to which the message was sent. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
