Hey Phil...
First of all, THANKS for such a quick reply
What actually clued me into the fact that there was a problem was that
THIS ezmlm server sent me some warning messages that messages were
bouncing. A few users had told me they were having problems, but when I
had them re-send, it worked 100% of the time, so I chalked it up to
user error.
Ezmlm is NOT a user -- so if it's getting errors, there is a problem...
so I looked at the error message, which is quoted below (with the actual
domain names changed to protect the guilty):

Hi! This is the ezmlm program. I'm managing the
qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com mailing list.
I'm working for my owner, who can be reached
at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Messages to you from the qmailtoaster-list mailing list seem to
have been bouncing. I sent you a warning message, but it bounced.
I've attached a copy of the bounce message.
This is a probe to check whether your address is reachable. If this
probe bounces, I will remove your address from the
qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com mailing list, without further notice.
You can re-subscribe by sending a message to this address:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mail.backupdomain.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
