Hi there! I was wondering if somebody could help me out. I've got it installed, and it says that everything is happy, but when it tries to subscribe me, this is the error that I get in $mailman/logs/smtp-failures:
Mar 27 10:58:18 2000 TrySMTPDelivery: To gleblanc@cu-portland.edu: Mar 27 10:58:18 2000 TrySMTPDelivery: socket.error / (110, 'Connection timed out') (deferred) Mar 27 10:58:18 2000 TrySMTPDelivery: Maybe your MTA daemon needs restarting?
Sendmail doesn't say that anything is wrong, and I can send mail from ordinary users. No, my MTA daemon doesn't need restarting, I tried that already. I've run out of things to look at. Thanks, Greg

You could try uncommenting the stuff in Utils.py in TrySMTPDelivery for more info.
You might also try
python -i bin/withlist <listname>
and then
sys.path.insert("/home/mailman/Mailman") (Barry, why doesn't bin/withlist do this?)
mm_cfg.SMTPHOST (to make sure you have the host you think configured) import smtplib s=smtplib.SMTP(mm_cfg.SMTPHOST) (to do the same thing TrySMTPDelivery does)

This happened to me, although my problem was "Connection refused" rather than a timeout. We tuned sendmail.cf by increasing MaxDaemonChildren and ConnectionRateThrottle like so:
# maximum number of children we allow at one time
O MaxDaemonChildren=20
# maximum number of new connections per second
O ConnectionRateThrottle=10I'm guessing that if your connection times out, your server might be too loaded.
