[Mailman-Users] please run connect () first ??

[Jon Carnes]

First (and most important) read the README.POSTFIX on your system and
follow the advice there on integrating Postfix with Mailman. 

If that does not solve it then look at your Delivery Defaults used in
~mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py (and Defaults.py)
  DELIVERY_MODULE = 'SMTPDirect'
  MTA = 'Manual'
  POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = []
  POSTFIX_ALIAS_CMD = '/usr/sbin/postalias'
  POSTFIX_MAP_CMD = '/usr/sbin/postmap'
  SMTPHOST = 'localhost'
  SMTPPORT = 0       # default from smtplib 
  SENDMAIL_CMD = '/usr/lib/sendmail'

Make sure that Postfix is listening on Localhost port 25. Make sure that
Localhost is defined in your /etc/hosts file

Read FAQ 3.14
