Hello everyone!
This is the continuation of the topic started on the mailman-users mailing list.
Here is the original post: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2012-June/073632.html And this is the post at which the conversation stopped: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2012-June/073636.html
Basically, what I am trying to do is to set up a running version of Mailman on my local machine, by using the 5 minute guide (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mailman-coders/mailman/3.0/view/head:/src/mailm...).
After doing what Mark Sapiro suggested in the last post, I got this:
Jun 27 20:01:09 2012 (5011) [SMTPServer] listening: localhost:9025 Jun 27 20:01:09 2012 (5011) starting the SMTP server thread Jun 27 20:01:09 2012 (5011) connecting to localhost:9025 Jun 27 20:01:09 2012 (5011) [SMTPServer] starting asyncore loop Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/local/mm3/mailman/src/mailman/testing/layers.py", line 254, in setUp cls.smtpd.start() File "/usr/local/mm3/mailman/src/mailman/testing/mta.py", line 197, in start QueueController.start(self) File "/usr/local/mm3/mailman/eggs/lazr.smtptest-1.3-py2.6.egg/lazr/smtptest/controller.py", line 69, in start smtpd = self._connect() File "/usr/local/mm3/mailman/eggs/lazr.smtptest-1.3-py2.6.egg/lazr/smtptest/controller.py", line 60, in _connect smtpd.connect(self._server.host, self._server.port) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/smtplib.py", line 295, in connect self.sock = self._get_socket(host, port, self.timeout) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/smtplib.py", line 273, in _get_socket return socket.create_connection((port, host), timeout) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/socket.py", line 514, in create_connection raise error, msg error: [Errno 111] Connection refused
Also, there is one more thing that could be related to this problem. I also have installed Mailman 2.1.10 and after setting it up for the proper domain, when a user tries to subscribe to one of the lists, although the subscription is recorded, the confirmation email is never sent back. The message that appears in the smtp-failure log is this:
Jun 04 20:55:57 2012 (10427) Low level smtp error: (111, 'Connection refused'), msgid: <mailman.0.1338832556.10889.systers-admin@manu.pensiunealdyna.ro> Jun 04 20:55:57 2012 (10427) delivery to esdanci@acm.ro failed with code -1: (111, 'Connection refused')
Thanks, Emanuel
