Mailman doesn't do this. If SMTPDirect thinks the error is retryable, it will queue the message for retry in the retry queue and it will be retried later, but by SMTPDirect, not by any other method. >But we would like to be able to have more verbose logging, to see what >smtpdirect is trying to connect too.

You can change either or both of these by assigning SMTPHOST and/or SMTPPORT in mm_cfg.py. (Note that SMTPPORT = 0 says use the smtplib default port which is port 25.) See <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq06.014.htp>. It is about a different problem, so the solutions probably aren't directly relevant, but there are small Python snippets and pointers to others in the archives that may help you with diagnosis. The logging in SMTPDirect is pretty verbose already. Between the 'post', 'smtp' and 'smtp-failure' logs, you get quite a bit. You can change the SMTP_LOG_* settings in mm_cfg.py (see the descriptions in Defaults.py) to get more things reported by the various log statements, but you can't add additional log statements this way. For that you actually have to modify SMTPDirect.py. But, the debug suggestions in the FAQ article should help you find more information. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
