Rob is right on at least 2 points:
a) look at the Mailman logs; look at the Mailman logs; look...
b) Stone's Arrogant Bastard is a killer... only topped by their IPA :-)
   (I wonder what Rob's clone is like?)

Ad a), I manage Mailman for our intranet, on a BSD box behind the firewall, so I can't look up specific locations of logs, locks, and other helpful stuff... but it's all in a well thought through directory tree, sufficiently verbose (things just don't simply vanish in Mailman). When interactively testing things with that user use 'ls -ltr' (not just ls or ll) to see the most recent files/modifications at the bottom of directory listings; then view those files. Some of the settings(not the logs) are stored in binary format (cPickled), and I could help you(next week) with a python scipt viewing those, if needed.

The first thing I'd test is if the problem is
 user-account(mailman) related or
 user-mail-client related

 - You could ask that user to use another mailer (MTA)
- You could delete and re-create that user account to make his settings like those of the other subscribers. - You could create a tmp-test list for him, you(as admin), and some other regular user and see what happens when he tries to post there, vs. the other regular user.

So much for tonight....................... Horst

Is the list address also [EMAIL PROTECTED] Just curious if something funky is happening with the DNS MX record?

Would it be possible for him, given the right steps, to telnet to port 25 of your mail server and attempt to manually create the mail message to the list? Maybe that would show some hints.

Does your mail server show it's been received in the logs? You're running Postfix, right? Does Mailman keep logs to look at?

Just some ideas while I'm drinking a clone homebrew of Stone's Arrogant Bastard. :)

I'm stumped, and everyone I've already asked is stumped...

We use Mailman to run a user list called the Yak for our customers.

One user can't post to the list. He used to be able to, but not anymore. He receives messages, just can't post. Checking the membership I see him in there and using the proper email account.

Checking the postfix logs everything seems just fine, not going to spam or being rejected or anything seemingly amiss.

Last time I had him test he CC'd me and I received it. Never showed up in Mailman...

Acknowledge is now set to on and he didn't receive anything. I don't see any moderator requests to deal with his messages.

It just ain't getting there....

I'm willing to pay a bounty to the person that gets me past this!!
