Dave Anselmi pointed out that after Roy moved our server to their new coloc, 
the (new) HOSTNAME was not in /etc/hosts.

This also caused a problem with the 'senddigest' cron script.  You can read my 
(unanswered) post to the mailman users list here:

This senddigest job is scheduled to run at noon each and because it failed for 
a couple of weeks, I think there is a backlog of digests.  As it processes, 
it sucks all 64 MB of RAM until the process runs out of memory.

So, anyone who sends an email around noon may experience a delay, due to the 
memory problem and (perhaps) because mailman queue processing is also 
affected.

MIgrate from our current P90, 64 MB of RAM to the 'new' server which is a 
P2/350 with 384 MB of RAM.   Jeff Orrock was going to work on this but has 
become busy with real work.  So, we'll get a status from him at the next 
admin meeting.  If he won't be able to do the migration, then we'll look for 
another volunteer.
