The default settings are SMTPHOST = 'localhost' SMTPPORT = 0 # 0 means use the smtplib default which is 25 These are for outgoing mail from Mailman only. They have nothing to do with delivery of mail TO mailman. You can tell Mailman to connect to any SMTP server and port by setting SMTPHOST to the fully qualified name of the server and/or SMTPPORT to the port. If the host operator will perhaps set up and allow an alternative port for you to use without authentication, then Mailman can simply be configured to use that port. If that isn't an option, but you can use an alternate port such as 465 or 587 that may require TLS and/or authentication, you can set SMTPPORT to that value, but you (or the host admin) will have to patch Mailman's SMTPDirect.py module to provide the authentication. You can find a patch for this at <https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/558281>. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
