[Mailman-Users] mail from lists backing up...

[David F. Reed]

Larry, I think you are on to something; odd as it sounds, it is refused:
[root at david mailman]# telnet 127.0.0.1 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused

now why do I say "odd"? because the other machines are using this one
as a host to send mail, as am I logged onto it, but, mailman can't...

so I am confused...

I am running RH 7.3; I do not see immediately how to turn that on,
but I will search.

Thanks

--Dave
