Ah. I didn't realize the Mailman authors were so sloppy/careless. :-(
That's really stupid... they force you to use SMTPDirect and then don't
implement a sane retry policy.
Could you run another instance of Sendmail in queue-only mode listening
on another port, and convince Mailman to deliver via SMTP on an alternate
port?

Oh, that's really gross. Someone needs to rewrite that module correctly.
