[Mailman-Users] Fwd: Mailing list lag to SOME users

[Kevin Carpenter]

OK... going to try one thing at a time.

First:

In mm_cfg.py  changing smtphost to point at localhost.

DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'mail.seaplace.org'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'www.seaplace.org'
#SMTPHOST = 'mail.seaplace.org'
SMTPHOST = 'localhost'
MTA = 'Postfix'

Hopefully that won't break anything since, at least on this instance of 
mailman, its all running on the same machine.

About to find out.
