I looked at this a bit deeper, and I see the '[Errno 9] Bad file descriptor' originates in the Python socket library when smtplib attempts to send or receive on a closed connection. Therefore, it appears the scenario is something like the following: - Mailman attempts to send - The SMTP transaction proceeds to the point where smtplib sends DATA - Something happens (or doesn't happen) here and the MTA times out (after waiting 5 minutes) and disconnects (closes the socket). - smtplib sends or receives on the closed socket and gets the error 9. We still don't know what causes the timeout. The smtplib debugging info would help. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
