It seems to be reaching across to another machine in order to get smtp
information, on a postfix installation on that remote machine.  They
used to be on the same machine, webserver and mail server, but I split
them up.  When I turned off postfix on the remote machine, which is the
mail server, I now get this error

Jan 05 11:40:24 2018 (10329) delivery to archive at xxx.com failed with
code -1: [Errno 111] Connection refused

But I don't see why it does this.  It doesn't seem to be dns confusion
because that works correctly for the mx records.  It seems to be
confusion restricted to mailman
