[Mailman-Users] All recipients refused: (111, 'Connection refused')

[Jon Carnes]

Keep looking through your /var/log/maillog file.  The section you show
clearly indicates email coming in to the server and being passed to
Mailman.

Next you need to see the mail connections from Mailman trying to send
that message out to the various folks on the list.  You should see an
error from that attempted connection.  That error will tell you what the
problem is.

If you don't see that error, then drop your servers local firewall rules
and make sure it's not that.

For a list of steps to check, read:
