What is the contents of your Mailman queues? It looks like your Mailman
is probably installed from the Ubuntu package. I *think* you'll find the
queues in /var/lib/mailman/qfiles.

Please keep this thread on the list.

>From the above it appears that Mailman sent an internally generated
message at 12:07 on May 24, possibly in response to a bounce, but hasn't
received any posts in the in queue since 09:25 on April 24.

This means one of two things. Either the MTA hasn't delivered any mail
to Mailman or, assuming delivery is via aliases and not
postfix_to_mailman.py, Mailman's mail/mailman shim between Postfix and
the in queue has some issue. Normally mail/mailman errors are logged in
Mailman's error log, but permission issues can prevent that.

You need to find an incoming post in Postfix's mail.log and follow all
the log messages to see what happens to it.
