[Mailman-Users] Mailman stopped working, no changes on machine, with error log output

Oops forgot important data :)


All of a sudden and with no reference to any error in any other log then
the mailman specific logs, mailman (running several lists) stopped
working. Went through the entire q 3.14 and all checks out fine, yet
this is found in mailman/error.log:

Jan 12 00:14:01 2004 (1291) Delivery exception: (-2, 'Name or service
