Your outgoing MTA (SMTP server) is rudely not accepting mail from
Mailman. These messages will be queued (in retry/) and retried at 15
minute intervals for five days before Mailman gives up on them.

If you can't figure out what's going on, there are some tips at
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.073.htp>
and
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq06.014.htp>.

Do you have SMTPHOST and/or SMTPPORT set in mm_cfg.py to some host/port
that is not appropriate after the move?

Can Mailman successfully send notices to 1 recipient, or does this
happen with all mail?
