Ah thanks, I've updated README.EXIM in cvs.

Looking at SMTPDirect.py gives a clue: if your smtp connection failed
because of a low-level socket error, or any kind of SMTPException
other than SMTPRecipientsRefused, we can't dig an smtp error code out
of the exception, so we log it as error -1.

I suspect that Mailman can't complete the socket connection to your
MTA.
