conn.quit() -> SMTPServerDisconnected

[Uplink2sf]

well this is driving me insane. had it since 2.1b3 on
RedHat 7.2 using python 2.2 (stock rpm install).

there's a few lists active but mail gets delivered
rarely - seems when sending mail,
Mailman/Handlers/SMTPDirect.py fails to conn.quit()
thus raising a
SMTPServerDisconnected: please run connect() first

...weird!

please find attached looots of logfiles that hopefully
make sense to you. I have too little knowledge of
python (<=0) to investigate more.

PLEASE SEND HELP!

[Barry Warsaw (barry)]

Can you start by upgrading to Python 2.2.2? We need to
eliminate any possibility that this is a problem that's been
patched in the latest stable Python release.

[Uplink2sf (uplink2sf)]

Thanks - weird, but doing a clean wipe-old compile-new
python 2.2.2 did the trick.
without *any* other changes, everything's working like a charme.

heads up!
