A message not received at all, or just not received by some users?

This is a small list.

Possibly, but any MTA should be able to handle 270 recipients - less if
we subtract digests.

Is bounce processing set to notify owner on disable? If so, what does
the bounce say when members are disabled?

See
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq06.011.htp>.

Basically, you/they need to see logs. Mailman's 'smtp' and
'smtp-failure' and maybe 'bounce' logs and the outgoing MTAs logs.

In the 'smtp' log you are looking for entries like:

Jun 22 17:56:26 2006 (1570) <message-id> smtp for 187 recips, completed
in 6.433 seconds

to verify the the number of recipients is as expected. You are also
looking for possible failures and reasons in 'smtp-failure'.
