Searching through the archives of the mailman-users list (in 
accordance with FAQ 1.18) turns up a number of hits.  I did 
<http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Server+not+connected%22+inurl:mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/>, 
but there are other searches that could also have been done.

In the article at 
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2005-August/046366.html>, 
the problem was an inappropriate setting for SMTPPORT that needed to 
be fixed in the mm_cfg.py file.

Then there's the article at 
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2005-September/046418.html>, 
where Mark Sapiro points out essentially the same search, and other 
issues that other people needed to resolve, in particular "setting 
SMTP_MAX_SESSIONS_PER_CONNECTION to 1 and/or setting SMTP_MAX_RCPTS 
to some small number."

Then there's the article at 
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2004-July/038047.html>, 
and more than sixty others.
