[Mailman-Users] What does this error mean?

[Joshua Erdman]

OK, that seemed to work.  As soon as I checked my /etc/hosts file I noticed
my localhost entry missing.

Now the only thing left for me to do is figure how that happened....

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
