Are there any mailman process running (ps auwwx | grep <your_mailman_id>)?

The archive is only built nightly by default, unless you use
$mailman_bin_dir/arch to build them manually.

Have you regenerated the aliases (newaliases)?

telnet localhost 25
expn <a-test-list-name>

(assuming you have expn turn on...)

Are you thinking of cutting over UB's LISTSERV by any chance?

I do more MailMan than I'd care to admit, so holler if you need help.
