SMTP problem

[Dhubleizh-users]

Whenever I send an eamail to any list, the system tells
me, the mail has been sent, the mailman archive of the
list shows me the sent mail, but mailman doesn't send
it out to the users. It keeps it in shunt dirrectory
and whenever it tries to send it (like when unshunt
invoked), I get something like this in error:

This is a known symptom for invalid setings for the SMTP
host/port. (Not a bug)
Check your SMTP settings in Defaults.py especially for
SMTPHOST. See the FAQ No 3.14 article in Mailman FAQ Wizard
for more.

hm - I've sent it here as a bug, cause it worked for a year
now and I've recently updated mailman and python. I've added
the name of lists server to /etc/hosts as 127.0.0.1.

It's strange thou - cause SMTPHOST is by default set to
127.0.0.1 which already was in /etc/hosts and I have
MTA='Postfix' from ages in my mm_cfg.py :/ Nevertheless -
sorry bout the unecessery fuss...
