Yes, the logs seem to be telling that, but actually the MTA is running 
just fine, it's the same MTA through which I'm sending these mails..  :)

Moreover, several other lists on this server are running just fine, with 
no problem...

before sending my prevoius mail to the list, I run a "tail -f 
/var/log/maillog" to see if there was any mailman related error, and no 
logs appear from the lists which are not running...
