This points to an MTA (possibly DNS related) configuration problem. I have
been poking around, in case I could find something useful, but had no
success. This log lines are produced by Utils.TrySMTPDelivery when the
inital SMTP connection has problems. Most probably the problem is
transport related, not mailman related.
