Mea culpa, but that's why I had to ask here. Before you guys clued me in
on which mailman logs meant what, my best bet was looking at postfix
log. In there, however, you would see the messages deferred and being
retried by postfix. There's message to at least one of these addresses
still being retried (or was, back when I said "mail's still going out"),
but I couldn't tell when it came out of mailman without much backtracking.

One failure logged in that time, to one of these addresses, and that's
only an invalid address that got past the regexp I used to clean up the
list.

:) I find I often don't wanna know.
