Check your MTA to make sure it's running and accepting connections. Also check your MTA logs to see if they have anything to say about the incoming connection attempts from Mailman.
Yes, the logs seem to be telling that, but actually the MTA is running just fine, it's the same MTA through which I'm sending these mails.. :)
Assuming you are using Mailman's SMTPDirect module it is possible that your MTA will refuse a connection from Mailman at some point in time or even drop a connection but at another time accept and process a connection from Mailman OK. Depending on how your MTA is configured and how heavily loaded your server is the MTA may refuse a particular connection attempt if, for instance, it has reached its concurrent connection limit or the load factor on the machine exceeds specified limits.
Looking back to your original post which had the following error log entry:
and in /var/logs/mailman/error
get:
Aug 12 18:29:33 2004 (11220) Delivery exception:

return self.getreply()
File "/var/mailman/Mailman/pythonlib/smtplib.py", line 281, in getreply
line = self.file.readline()
suggests that the smtplib (Python SMTP support library) raised the Delivery exception because it found hte TCP/IP connection to the MTA had been closed abruptly when it was trying to complete the protocol dialogue with the MTA.
It is not obvious that this is a Mailman problem per se.
Moreover, several other lists on this server are running just fine, with no problem...
before sending my prevoius mail to the list, I run a "tail -f /var/log/maillog" to see if there was any mailman related error, and no logs appear from the lists which are not running...

With MM 2.0.13 the qrunner is a cron job. If my recollect is correct, when a previously launched instance of the qrunner is running and cron launches a new instance the new instance logs the "could not acquire" entry in the qrunner log and leaves the older instance to continue processing the queues. The only thing these log entries usually tell you are that on occasions it is taking longer than the qrunner launch interval to process all the queues. But the above entries from the qrunner log show that the "could not acquire" entry is appearing twice at the same time associated with different process ids, which makes me suspect that there may be two crontabs extant on your system which are both trying to start the qrunner every minute. Not a good thing.
