I have one list that is not sending out it's welcome message to new

Any suggestion on where to look at what the problem could be?
Are the list's General Options settings send_reminders and
send_welcome_message set to Yes?
If so, you could visit the various member options pages via the email
address links on the Membership Management... -> Membership List pages
and verify that their "Get password reminder email for this list?"
settings are not all No. If they are all No, do
bin/config_list -o - LISTNAME | grep new_member_options
convert the decimal integer you see to binary and see if it contains
the 00100000 (2^5 = 32) bit which is the option to supress password
reminder. If it does, also check mm_cfg.py for a
DEFAULT_NEW_MEMBER_OPTIONS setting containing this bit.
If all of the above indicates reminders and welcome messages should be
sent, try running 'cron/mailpasswds -l LISTNAME' and subscribing a new
member and check Mailman's 'smtp' log and the MTA logs to see if the
messages are being sent and what's happening to them.
Thanks Mark for the reply. It turned out having the "Send password
reminders to, eg, "-owner" address instead of directly to user. " set to
yes on the General Options page caused the welcome message and password
reminder message from being sent out. Changing it to no fixed it.
