I'm sure if you try the following interactive python test, you will see the same error somewhere, either in the smtplib.SMTP() call or the connect() call. $ python Python 2.3.3 (#1, May 7 2004, 10:31:40) [GCC 3.3.3 20040412 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.3-7)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import smtplib >>> SMTPHOST = 'localhost' >>> SMTPPORT = 0 >>> x = smtplib.SMTP() >>> x.connect(SMTPHOST, SMTPPORT) (220, 'sb7.example.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.11/8.12.11; Mon, 16 May 2005 18:08:07 -0700') >>> x.quit() >>> $ You can see a more complete example that actually sends mail at http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2005-May/044742.html You may be able to make this work by changing SMTPHOST to an IP address or some different name. If so, you can make the same assignment in mm_cfg.py and Mailman should work. Otherwise, you have to make whatever system configuration changes are required to make it work. Possibly the errors returned by the python library may give you more clues. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
