This does no harm, but putting those lines in mm_cfg.py doesn't really
do anything as you are just resetting them to the same values they
already have from Defaults.py.

This indicates that Mailman may have been improperly shut down in the
past (maybe from your crash?). Now, do 'ps -fAw | grep python' or
however you spell that on your system. You should see exactly one
mailmanctl process and exactly 8 qrunner processes with names
ArchRunner, BounceRunner, CommandRunner, IncomingRunner, NewsRunner,
OutgoingRunner, VirginRunner and RetryRunner. If this is not what you
see, see
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.068.htp>
for a procedure that will clean things up.

Also, are you still getting the same smtp-failure entries when Mailman
sends, and are you getting any log messages from smtplib in Mailman's
'error' log?
