I agree, it's not clear whether this is a sendmail or a Mailman problem. However, I have never, AFAIK, failed to receive an email from my provider's domain, unless that email originated from this specific Mailman list. That seems suspicious, doesn't it? Of course, I may be missing other emails that I am not aware of. Not getting something you did not know to expect is not an easy problem to trap. Since I now know that I am not receiving all emails from this list, possibly the problem is common but not often detected because the severity varies, list by list. > Mailman's 'smtp' log.

I'm not certain, but I think this answers your question: the list does have digest options available to the users. > Check the settings of VERP_DELIVERY_INTERVAL and SMTP_MAX_RCPTS if any > in mm_cfg.py I looked, there are no settings for these in Mailman/mm_cfg.py.

The provider has given me sendmail logs that I have analyzed. I was able to identify entries in the sendmail log that correspond with mailing list transmissions that were not received by the subscriber (me). > Sendmail claims it sent the mail to the users who didn't get it.
