My prior experience with exactly this problem was this:
I had several lists set up on my machine. All but ONE of them worked fine.
The remaining list did exactly as you described: All mail sent to it went
(apparently) straight to /dev/null. I couldn't figure it out for the longest
time; I went into the aliases file, where I had ALL the lists set up, and it
looked just like all the others in form.
Finally, I HAPPENED to notice that some of the file permissions for the
errant list were different from those of the corresponding files for the
working lists. I investigated, and found that in some cases I had given the
"Others" write permission on the file. Well, my understanding is that Mj
will not allow this. So I carefully changed all the file permissions to
exactly the values of the other lists' files, and *voila*! The problem went
away!
Might be worth checking out.
