"its" implies only one password reminder. Is this what you expect?

It's from mailman-bounces or from mailman-bounces+user=example.com if
VERP_PASSWORD_REMINDERS is Yes.

I'm not familiar with Postfix logging configurations. In my case, I have

mail.*    -/var/log/maillog

in /etc/syslog.conf and it logs everything to /var/log/maillog. If I
grep /var/log/maillog for the message-id from Mailman's smtp log, I
see a message like

Mar  1 05:00:21 sbh16 postfix/cleanup[25087]: C993B6902CE:
message-id=<mailman.534.1298984420.25039.mail...@sbh16.songbird.com>

and if I then grep the log for the Postfix queue ID (C993B6902CE in
this case), I see all the relevant messages. Well actually my
situation is more complex as I run MailScanner so at some point
Mailscanner requeues the message and I have to grep the second queue
id too, but ultimately I see a log message with the disposition as in

Mar  1 05:40:12 sbh16 postfix/smtp[26370]: 196C7690104:
to=<u...@yahoo.com>, relay=i.mx.mail.yahoo.com[74.6.140.64]:25,
delay=2390, delays=2385/0.25/0.58/4.2, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 ok
dirdel)

where 196C7690104 is requeue id from MailScanner and the 2390 second
delay was due to Yahoo's greylisting in this case.

In any case, if you see the message arrive in the Postfix log and the
queue entry ultimately removed, only Postfix can tell you what it did
with it.
