See Defaults.py. The default for SMTPHOST is 'localhost', i.e. your Postfix. If you override this in mm_cfg.py, you are saying connect to port 25 of whatever host you specify to send the mail rather than your own Postfix. > ??? does SMTPDirect replace having postfix do the smtp-ing? No. SMTPDirect is the Mailman module that delivers to your Postfix (or to SMTPHOST) via SMTP. There is no viable alternative - the 'Sendmail' module is NOT recommended. > ??? the patch patches SMTPDirect so it won't do anything if I do not > explicitly declare it in mm_cfg.py? Wrong. SMTPDirect is the default handler. > ??? what will happen then? > ??? should I just patch it anyway and it will go for me?
