Mailman is attempting to connect to an SMTP server at address SMTPHOST
(default = 'localhost') and port SMTPPORT (default = 0 which means use
the default SMTP port = 25). qmail is not listening or not accepting
the connect.

See
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq06.014.htp>
for some diagnostics you can run from Python, but the most likely
explanation is qmail isn't listening on localhost (127.0.0.1) port 25.
