Excerpt from README:

  mailer exited unexpectedly with error XXXX -- it is expected that the
    mailer will return a zero exit code upon success, so any nonzero code
    is reported as an error.  The mail may or may not have been propperly
    sent to your list.  To track down the source of this error, first
    inspect the debug logs (see Debugging below) to see if the mailer
    emitted any diagnostics.  Failing that, the true exit status of the
    program can be obtained by dividing the error number by 256.  Consult
    your mailer's documentation for the meaning of the exit statis, or if
    you use Sendmail, consult the chart below for some of the more common
    errors:

17152 / 256 = 67

    67 - EX_NOUSER - The alias that is used to send out list mail (which
      is passed as the last argument on resend's command line) does not
      exist.  Make certain that there are no typographical errors in your
      alias file, and that the file has been properly rebuilt.

I'm not sure that explanation is complete since your sendmail verifies
lostinspace-outgoing but can't expand it. You probably have an invalid
address in that list or one that's not fully qualified. Check for
unbalanced quotes, (), <>, and the like, and for addresses without '@'
or only one node in the domain part, e.g. someone@host instead of
someone@host.domain.com.
