For some reason, after a recent nightmare with a hosed partition table, my system which had a working Mailman 2.1.5 version on it, now refuses to connect to exim4 and get my mail out to my lists.
Here's a snippted from /var/log/mailman/smtp-failure. I have no idea what these things mean but hoping someone here can help: Oct 19 11:36:12 2006 (2493) Low level smtp error: (110, 'Connection timed out'), msgid: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Oct 19 11:36:12 2006 (2493) delivery to [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed with code -1: (110, 'Connection timed out') Oct 19 11:39:21 2006 (2493) Low level smtp error: (110, 'Connection timed out'), msgid: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Oct 19 11:39:22 2006 (2493) delivery to [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed with code -1: (110, 'Connection timed out') Oct 19 11:40:54 2006 (2493) Low level smtp error: (4, 'Interrupted system call'), msgid: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Oct 19 11:40:55 2006 (2493) delivery to [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed with code -1: (4, 'Interrupted system call') Oct 19 11:44:16 2006 (5556) Low level smtp error: (110, 'Connection timed out'), msgid: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Oct 19 11:44:16 2006 (5556) delivery to [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed with code -1: (110, 'Connection timed out') Oct 19 11:47:26 2006 (5556) Low level smtp error: (110, 'Connection timed out'), msgid: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Oct 19 11:47:26 2006 (5556) delivery to [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed with code -1: (110, 'Connection timed out') When I revived my system, I couldn't get mailman to even respond until I changed my exim4.conf.template file to exim4.conf.template.new, replacing it with my older exim4.conf.template file. The .new file which apparently was created during an apt-get update pass, contained NO INFORMATION ABOUT MAILMAN, while the old exim4.conf.template file had all my Mailman references. I am reading the [EMAIL PROTECTED]@%^$%*ing manual, for those who would urge the RTFM invective upon me. As yet, I can find no answers to help resolve this. It would be nice if there were some probe utility that would verify everything that needs to be in place, for mailman to work on a debian system. Thanks for any suggestions with this. btw, if I send to one of my lists, I get no response at any included list recipient addresses though the message shows up in the archives for the list as if it had gone out. Correction, the archives of all my lists work, i.e., thy collect mail sent out to each list, though none of the mail sent reaches any recipient. Scott
