[Mailman-Users] Odd smtp-error

[Rich West]

I *think* I might have found my problem.. :)

After doing some searching in /var/log/messages, I came across that 
particular message ID, and saw the corresponding DSN error.

I then hit the net searching with regards to the DSN error, and came 
across a number of postings suggesting that a hostname might be missing 
from the local-host-names file with regards to sendmail.

I checked mine, and low-and-behold, the name of my mailing list server 
that I defined in my mm_cfg.py file was NOT there.  duh.

I'm going to keep a close eye on it, but I think I'm ok now..

Thanks to all for your help!
