[Mailman-Users] please run connect () first ??

[Darryl Harvey]

I have installed mailman on RedHat 9, mailman version is 2.1.1, and postfix 
version 2.0.10 using mysql lookups...

When I try to send an email to a group (of about 75 or more people (yet to 
find size limit)), The email appears in the archive, but never gets 
delivered to any of the list members.

in the /var/log/mailman/error log I see;

Mar 05 18:55:42 2004 (5019) SHUNTING:

Any ideas?
