[Mailman-Developers] smtp error - [Errno 111] Connection refused - when trying to install MM 3.0

[Danci Emanuel]

Hi Mark!

Thank you very much for the solution! Indeed, that was the cause generating the error.
I have commented out some lines from /etc/hosts and now everything is working smoothly. 

Thanks again!

So it has nothing to do with Mailman.

It looks like what's in /etc /hosts is an IPv6 address for localhost

You should have something similar to

127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain localhost
::1             localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
