If a list has no members, no post is sent. What did you see in what
log? You might have seen a reject of an attempted post.

Assuming archiving is enabled for the list, a post will be in the
list's archive. With default archiving settings, a copy of the message
is also in the archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox file.

If the list is digestable, even if there are no members, the post will
be added to lists/listname/digest.mbox, but this file is deleted when
periodic or size triggered digests are processed, and with no members,
no digest will be sent.
