[Mailman-Users] gate_news -crontab error

[Jon Carnes]

Logon to your system that is running Mailman and try to access the same 
news server (using the password and username that you have setup in 
~mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py).

It looks like the server couldn't establish a socket connection with the 
news server.
