Damn, you are right. Although some of the emails did make it through after I restarted mailman, looking in the smtp-error log shows that I'm still getting "Server not connected" errors :-(
Shoot, anyone with Postfix (or another MTA) seen this problem? -----Original Message----- From: Mark Sapiro [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2005 11:11 To: Mike Hanby; mailman-users@python.org Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] "Server not connected" in smtp-failure log Mike Hanby wrote: >Ok, I think I've found the solution, I didn't need to mess with the >SMTPHOST, since localhost works just fine.

Wonder why it was set to 0 in the >Default file. So in effect you've done nothing since SMTPPORT = 0 tells the python smtplib to use its default SMTP port which is port 25.

(remember this is an >E-Newsletter type list) If the error is considered a "temporary" failure by SMTPDirect, it will be automatically retried. If it is considered "permanent", it is treated as a "bounce". -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
