I don't remember previous_email in any configuration files.

The only scenari use of previous_email are:
./default/scenari/subscribe.owner:is_subscriber([listname],[previous_email])
smtp,smime,md5 -> do_it
./default/scenari/subscribe.auth_owner:is_subscriber([listname],[previous_email])
md5,smime -> do_it

The logs also don't say that anything failed due to that. There are
many more log entries, but I don't see any keywords which indicate a
problem.

Isn't there a "Sympa Status" page which shows the status of what is
currently happening, or what recently happened? Going to each
individual list to see if something is waiting to be moderated is
awkward when there are dozens of lists. Seeing that something is stuck
in a queue seems to be even more awkward to accomplish...but I haven't
been able to find anything reporting that something tried or failed to
reach a queue.

I think this is the end of the log entries for the attempt to send:
