Actually, the 'post' log is written by SMTPDirect at message delivery
time as are the 'smtp' and 'smtp-failure' logs. Thus the 'post' log
doesn't log 'received' posts. It only logs posts that are sent to the
list. Nothing logs the initial receipt of a post.

The message-id indicates this is an internally generated Mailman
message. It could be a subscription confirmation or some kind of owner
notification. It is not a post.

What is fetchmail doing with the messages it retrieves? Note that
possibly the most straightforward thing is to have fetchmail deliver
to a local mail directory (qfiles/maildir/ by default but can be
changed in mm_cfg.py by setting MAILDIR_DIR) and use Mailman's maildir
delivery by putting the following in mm_cfg.py
USE_MAILDIR = Yes
QRUNNERS.append(('MaildirRunner', 1))
See Defaults.py for more info.

You probably have to actually add log messages to the code, but before
going there, look in qfiles/in/ and qfiles/shunt/. If both of these
are empty, the messages most likely aren't getting to Mailman in the
first place.
