Nothing is being sent by Sympa. How do I get logging which reports what
is failing? I'm running with debug level 2, and there are a lot of log
entries created, but none of them seem to be saying that there is a
failure.

Postfix log shows no messages coming out. (Postfix configuration and
aliases are defined) Postfix does deliver messages to Sympa, and the
incoming message does appear in the list's archive.

I checked the queue permissions, as suggested in the FAQ "All messages
are lost". User sympa has permissions to queue directories, and the
queue program is setuid sympa.

When I use wws to send a text message to a list, I see the message
appear in the Archive, I see log entries about the number of
subscribers, but I don't see log entries about messages being emailed.

I also don't see anything to be moderated, so the message is not
awaiting moderation.

Is there a summary page that shows all queued moderations and other
actions? Maybe I'm just not seeing something which is causing a global
blockage or slowdown. I'm only aware of how to check the status of
individual lists, and I haven't found a summary of everything happening
in the Sympa installation.

Maybe log entries like this are supposed to mean something, but I'm not
seeing any words like "warning", "error", or "failure", so I don't know
if anything like this looks unusual:
