Richard, Thanks for that. I have now enabled the more verbose logging option for the SMTPDirect.py module.
I have noticed that a few qrunner processed are currently running on the machine... Should these quit as soon are they are done? mailman 8270 11.2 0.8 8068 3288 ??

I cannot offer a solution but I think it might be an idea to try and get more information about what is happening. I am assuming you have your DELIVERY_MODULE = 'SMTPDirect' in Defaults.py/mm_cfg.py There are some statements in the $prefix/Mailman/Handlers/SMTPDirect.py module which log more detail about Mailman's interaction with the SMTP server but which are commented out as standard. Uncommenting these lines [deleting the # character(s) from the start of the lines] might get some useful information logged. Looking at a copy of the SMTPDirect.py file from a freshly unpacked mailman-2.0.6.tgz, I am referring to lines 204, 212, 213 and 214. In the absence of a flash of insight it might be worth trying.
