Thanks, I'll keep this information around for future reference! In the meantime, the queue was automatically retried and the changes I made to postfix configuration were correct, so the mail was delivered just fine!
(Mailman seems to deliver outgoing list messages to the local SMTP server via "::1". I was expecting 127.0.0.1. I wasn't expecting ipv6! ["Nobody expects ipv6!"]) :)

I'm trying to find some documentation on how to force my retry ("RetryRunner") queue to try delivery again. I'll keep searching but thought I'd toss a quick note here as well. Anyone?
Prior to Mailman 2.1.26, it processes the queue, sleeps for 15 minutes and repeats. There has always been a DELIVERY_RETRY_WAIT setting that defaulted to 1 hour, but prior to 2.1.26, it was ineffective. The current doc for that setting in Defaults.py is
# How long should we wait before we retry a temporary delivery failure? # Because RetryRunner sleeps for 15 minutes between processes of its queue, # whatever is put here is effectively rounded up to the next integer multiple # of 15 minutes. DELIVERY_RETRY_WAIT = hours(1)
The way this works is when a delivery fails for a temp failure, the current time + DELIVERY_RETRY_WAIT is placed in the message's metadata and the message won't be retried before that time.
If your Mailman is pre 2.1.26, or if DELIVERY_RETRY_WAIT has been set to a very low value, you can restart RetryRunner by sending it SIGINT. That should wake it up to process its queue.
