[Mailman-Users] qfiles building up + (111, 'Connection refused')

[Simon, imagine media]

The problem is definitely related to the interface settings for python to
sendmail mailing. PHP and Pine both send email successfully to both locally
and remotely hosted addresses. For interest I have found similar errors
reported by Zope users: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/zope/message/2645

Initially smtp was not running. This has now been set-up through Xinetd and
is running:

netstat -a
Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State
tcp        0      0 *:pop3                  *:*                     LISTEN
tcp        0      0 *:http                  *:*                     LISTEN
tcp        0      0 ns0.imagineinterne:smtp *:*                     LISTEN

But still messages in qfiles are not being posted, and we get the same error
in logs/smtp:

Dec 20 09:12:03 2001 (10830) All recipients refused: (111, 'Connection
refused')
Dec 20 09:12:03 2001 (10830) smtp for 1 recips, completed in 0.002 seconds

Which is not too helpful.
Thoughts please?!

Can you telnet to port 25 on this machine?

I wonder if you've got a firewall rule or something lying around.
