I'm actually running them from cron and manually right now, using the "once" option to keep them from continuing. I'll change this when everything's debugged, but I need to be able to monitor/control the timing for the moment. > > btw, you do not need to delete the .pyc as Python determines the need > to recompile the .py from the modification date on the file I didn't know that (I'm not a Python guru).

It hadn't occurred to me that the timing would confuse anyone. I actually think I've found the problem. It turns out that my Exim config was allowing relay from 127.0.0.1, but since Exim doesn't yet own that address, the connection was going through a real interface rather than the loopback. My ISP had made an entry of "smtp.[his_domain]" that actually pointed to *my* IP address. This made the log entries look as if the mail was routing through his Sendmail, when in fact it was staying within my own Exim. So apparently Mailman was working all along. Once I figured this out, I set up Exim to allow relay for mail originating at my local IP number, as well as the 127.0.0.1 host, and messages seem to be routing outbound now. Sorry to bother everyone...I think we can call this a closed problem.
