Well, again, I have found the answer to my own post. I'm sorry everyone. After sending the message below, I disabled my milters one by one and lo and behold the milter that was causing the trouble was milter-date... actually, I think it's a bug in Mailman. Regard the expanded log files from milter-date:
Feb 1 17:46:39 hoover milter-date[5534]: 00006 NOQUEUE: filterOpen(805d350, 'localhost.localdomain', [127.0.0.1])
Feb 1 17:46:39 hoover milter-date[5534]: 00006 j11MkdZb005615: filterMail(805d350, 805e098) MAIL='<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'
Feb 1 17:46:39 hoover milter-date[5534]: 00006 j11MkdZb005615: address='[EMAIL PROTECTED]' localleft='testlist-bounces' localright='' domain='xxx.org'
.

Feb 1 17:46:40 hoover milter-date[5534]: 00006 j11MkdZb005615: filterRcpt(805d350, 805e098) RCPT='<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'
Feb 1 17:46:41 hoover milter-date[5534]: 00006 j11MkdZb005615: reply 550 5.7.1 missing Date: header as required by RFC 2822 section 3.6
Feb 1 17:46:41 hoover sendmail[5615]: j11MkdZb005615: Milter: data, discard
Feb 1 17:46:41 hoover sendmail[5615]: j11MkdZb005615: discarded
Feb 1 17:46:41 hoover milter-date[5534]: 00006 NOQUEUE: filterClose(805d350)
As you can see, 4 lines from the end, milter-date is complaining that the email message does not have a RFC 2822 3.6 compliant Date: header.
Either this is a bug in milter-date or a bug in Mailman. I can't tell from the resulting email message whether or not the Date: header was added by Mailman or by sendmail. I'm going to have to have a Mailman guru check the digest mailer to see if it is including a Date: header or not and if so, what format it is using so that I can report the problem to the milter-date developer.
Again, sorry for answering my own posting again,

I've been banging my head against my monitor for a week now trying to figure out why this is happening, but I cannot.
I have this setup: Fedora Core 2 Mailman 2.1.5 Sendmail 8.13.1 mimedefang 2.49 spamassassin 3.0.2 milter-date 0.12.160
Here's what's going on:
Email to the list comes in. Whether or not the email needs to be moderated, the email to non-digest users goes out without a problem. When senddigests is run, the following occurs in /var/log/maillog:
Feb 1 15:58:24 hoover sendmail[2624]: j11KwM56002624: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=1853, class=-30, nrcpts=1, msgid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [127.0.0.1]
Feb 1 15:58:25 hoover mimedefang.pl[2526]: MDLOG,j11KwM56002624,mail_in,,,<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,Testlist Digest, Vol 1, Issue 2
Feb 1 15:58:25 hoover sendmail[2624]: j11KwM56002624: Milter add: header: X-Scanned-By: MIMEDefang 2.49 on 192.168.0.106
Feb 1 15:58:25 hoover sendmail[2624]: j11KwM56002624: Milter: data, discard
Feb 1 15:58:25 hoover sendmail[2624]: j11KwM56002624: discarded
This happens even if I disable all of mimedefang's abilities to discard email.
What I can't understand is why it would discard the digest but not the non-digest messages!
Has anyone seen this peculiarity before?
Thanks,
Jeff G.
