Okay, believe it or not it was my fault, but I noticed a few other posts in the archives that had gone unanswered with similiar descriptions, so here's what the deal was in my case:
I didn't have DNS properly setup for mail for my domain. My MX records were not pointing to my main server. So, the confirmation e-mails, which _originate_ from that machine, could go out, but mails that I would attempt to send to the list would have to route to the server where the list resides. This wasn't happening, hence users getting the "Welcome" e-mails but not list posts. In my case, there was an extra "feature" that made it more confusing: my free DNS provider was providing a catchall mail feature so that _all_ mail sent to my domain was sent to my defult address. So I _thought_ one address was properly routing posts, but actually anything sent to the list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) was just being forwarded to my account without even hitting my server and even less the Mailman software. So, a change in MX records, a propagation wait, and all is well now. Thanks, Curt.
