If the above are actually indented, this is bad. They shouldn't be.
Is this from mm_cfg.py or Defaults.py?
Actually the text listed above on SMTP which was in section 4 of 3.14 FAQ is not listed in my mm_cfg.py...not there at all. Is this a problem?
No. That bit in the FAQ is just a listing of the defaults from Defaults.py and these should be OK.
- Locks
Can't find any locks folder under a mailman directory
It's somewhere? Is there a setting for LOCK_DIR in mm_cfg.py?
There is no setting for LOCK_DIR in the mm_cfg.py. I perform a locate on either LOCK or LOCK_DIR and the only LOCK I can find deal with items in an selinux area.
LOCK_DIR is not a directory, it is a Python name set in Defaults.py and possibly overridden in mm_cfg.py. Thus, you won't find it with locate, but you might find it with grep.
If this is a RedHat FHS compliant installation, you will probably find them in /var/locks/, but if you check the setting for LOCK_DIR in Defaults.py (since it isn't in mm_cfg.py) you should find it. See <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-developers/2004-October/017343.html> for more on RedHat FHS.
Within the Mailman directory there is a LockFile.py, LockFile.pyc and LockFile.pyo
This is the Mailman module that deals with locking and locks. It is not the locks themselves, but locks aren't your problem anyway.
Here is what the smtp-failure log is saying...
