No, you really want Python 2.4.4, not 2.3.anything or 2.5.anything. 
The problem is that 2.3.anything is to old (and breaks things in the 
Mailman code), and 2.5.anything is too new (and breaks things in the 
Mailman code).

Trust me, you really want the latest release from the 2.4 tree, for 
use with Mailman 2.1.9.

There's the problem.  Postfix probably isn't configured to listen on 
the localhost IP address.  Try adding that to the list of interfaces 
for postfix to listen on.

That could also work.
