I'm really quite surprised about this. From the kernel version numbers, I'm
guessing you're running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS? I have my personal Mailman server
running on that OS, and just performed a kernel update. I'm about to reboot
it into the new kernel, so I'll send a test message out and see if it works.
Very odd that a kernel update alone would cause the problem. Can you send
mail normally (i.e. outside of Mailman) and connect to your port 25? I guess
the one difference between our setups is that I use Postfix.
