Bah, ok, I'm still having trouble with this.  Some of the people on the list
get the emails from the list, but a bunch of others get this error in
smtp-failure like
        
delivery to [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed with code -1: Server not connected
delivery to [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed with code -1: Server not connected
delivery to [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed with code -1: Server not connected
delivery to [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed with code -1: Server not connected
...
and so on

I've tried that setting SMTPHOST '127.0.0.1' and SMTPHOST '10.0.0.1' and
also it's MX ip address, and all result in the following error:

Low level smtp error: Server not connected, msgid:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Commenting out SMTPHOST gets rid of the above "Low level smtp" error, but
the "Server not connected" errors continue.

My MTA is PostFix

Howdy all,

I have my mailman list set up as an E-Newsletter distribution list, i.e.
only email that I approve goes out to the list.

I am seeing the following errors being repeated over and over in my
/usr/local/mailman/logs/smtp-failure log

delivery to [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed with code -1: Server not connected

I found a possible solution to this in mailman-users list:
        Write this line in your mm_cfg.py
        MTA = 'Postfix'
        SMTPHOST = 'aa.bb.cc.dd'

I already had the MTA line correct, but didn't have the SMTPHOST line.  I've
added that line.

My questions:
        1) do I need to do anything to get mailman to re-read mm_cfg.py?
        2) Will mailman re-attempt to deliver the email to this user or will
he have to wait for my next newsletter email? (remember this is an
E-Newsletter type list)

Thanks, Mike
