[Mailman-Users] mailman cron error

[Adam Lipson]

thanks for your help,

I can't think of any place the port assignment would be set for an individual list can you?  I guess I can try setting up a new list from scratch to see if the config files somehow were corrupt when the list was built?  Any idea where to look besides that?

Thanks,
Adam

connection refused says it's not getting there...

(or asking on a different port...)
