Anyone know how to fix this? All my lists have been down for 2 weeks.

Does other mail work? Mailman seems to connect to a SMTP-server (to which?) but the connect fails (due to host not found). Perhaps you mistyped the name of the SMTP host.

¿Have you updated DNS? Something similar happened to me. In my organization updated DNS to a new version, so asking localhost in DNS doesn't resolve now.
I had in my Defaults.py: SMTPHOST = 'localhost' because I have in the same machine mailing lists and mail server.
I changed SMTPHOST = 'canonical.name.of.smtp.server' and then it worked!, it was very hard to find the bug :-(
Try it and tell if it has worked Cheers
