That's why you see the "No such list" errors. Someone has tried to
access those lists - in the case of 'test75' via the admin interface,
in the case of the others, via perhaps listinfo, private or some other
script that doesn't log it's name.

Anyway, the only messages relevant to your issue are "Cannot connect to
SMTP server localhost on port smtp". I don't know why there aren't
also debug prints from the Python smtplib if the

        self.__conn.set_debuglevel(1)

line was added to SMTPDirect.py per the FAQ. Basically however, this
says that in these instances at least, SMTPDirect was unable to
connect at all to 'localhost' port 25.
