If this doesn't reveal the problem, you can try the same thing with the results of bin/dumpdb on the lists/listname/config.pck files. For this latter diff, you'll have to ignore differences in various attributes which are lists of members with other member info, but if there is something peculiar in the config of these lists which causes the problem, this should reveal it. I'll try.

[Mailman-Users] Not sending password reminders, subscription confirmations
Hi, I'm using mailman 2.1.8 on OpenBSD. I have 5 lists, 2 are really used, 1 is for testing purposes. A admin of that 2 lists claims that subscription confirmations are not sent to the users allthough the checkbox is active (I checked that). For my test list the confirmations work for each new user. Moreover on none of the (5) lists the monthly password reminders are working anymore. I started using mailman with 2.1.2(?) and always upgraded the lists with every new release. Where should I start to look at? I grepped my maillog files (which are on the same machine, postfix 2.1.8) but did not find anything.
