Mailman has problems, too. Yes, I can believe that pipermail fails to publish my emails although they are properly saved to the database, but mailman also fails to send me back a copy of my messages despite checked "Receive your own posts to the list" in preferences.

I'm afraid you're blaming the wrong victim here; I just checked the mail server logs, and they show that the corresponding copy of your message was delivered to Google mail servers at 17:35:21 UTC, roughly two minutes after your message had been received by Mailman.
Yes. This is caused by a Google misfeature: Gmail WILL NOT show you copies of messages you sent, even if you want it to, and this cannot be turned off.

I went there, ticked "not helpful" and when asked why said "it doesn't tell me how to switch this Gmail misfeature off." You may care to do something similar.
