[Mailman-Users] moved server, mailman is broken

I needed to build a machine for mailman for the office, but it was easier to
build it at home.  So, I installed mailman 2.0beta4 from an RPM (I've got
beta5, just haven't installed it yet), and it was working on my home
network.  I brought the box to work, changed the IP and hostname for the
box, and changed the defaults in mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py, and rebooted.
Now almost everything is broken.  I deleted my test list, to clean things up
a bit.  When I went to create a new list, it was VERY slow, but it did
complete eventually.  However, I haven't receied the confirmation mail that
I normally get when I create a list.  The maillog doesn't say anything to
me, and there are no obvious errors in mailman/logs/*.
Anyway, here's what mailman/logs/smtp says, which is REALLY strange.

Jul 27 22:37:01 2000 (7749) smtp for 1 recips, completed in 1.592 seconds
Aug 16 10:41:24 2000 (680) smtp for 1 recips, completed in 151.208 seconds
Aug 16 11:09:17 2000 (872) smtp for 1 recips, completed in 150.902 seconds

July 27 was at home, the two from today are here at the office.  Hmm, a 150
fold increase in the time it takes to process things?  That's not good.
Here's some of my maillog, in case that helps.

My only hint is that the messages have been "queued", but I can't figure out
why that would be.  Thanks for any pointers,
	Greg
