I do backup mailman nightly. We remove the waiting queue on several
lists. Wind is the only purely moderated list we have. JABR or I remove
the waiting queues for discuss and other lists since the list owners
don't have the time to seal with the SPAM. 

Personally, I don't think that the problem is with mailman, but with
postfix. 

I was suspecting that possibly the MIME stripper might be causing some
problems with some of the lists, but discuss does not use the stripper.
