Yep, have a look at Mailman/Defaults.py and Mailman/mm_cfg.py and look for
the lines that look like:
# SMTP host and port, when DELIVERY_MODULE is 'SMTPDirect'
SMTPHOST = 'localhost'
SMTPPORT = 0                                      # default from smtplib

Make sure that the SMTPHOST listed there exists. If not, redefine it in
your mm_cfg.py
