It looks to me like your outgoing SMTP server disconnected you
abruptly. It may be a transient situation in which case bin/unshunt
will put the message back in the out queue and Mailman will retry the
delivery. If the problem recurs and the SMTP server is otherwise OK,
it probably has to do with something in the message itself.
