That was a host rsynced with the correct options. Postfix itself is
working (delivering). Mailman throws messages like

This is probably due to 

v67:/# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

Is this one of the times when I need to define a fake localhost
a la 127.0.0.x?
