I'm not sure if this is relevant or not, but I did report some time ago a problem in python's smtplib.py that leaked fd's, and brought about a bug in MailList.py (Mailman 1.1). As far as I'm aware, this bug was not fixed in Mailman's copy of smtplib.py, nor in the new version of Python. It lost file descriptors when sendmail quit accepting connections due to too high of a load. -Dan
and when you run out of fd's, you get an error attempting to connect and exit. I'll bet that's it, Dan.
