You only see this message once at startup because it is only issued once until there is a successful delivery.
This error can occur for reasons other than an inability to connect to the smtp server. In particular, if there are errors in decorating the message with a header and/or a footer because of permissions or other problems in retrieving a list:member:regular:header or list:member:regular:footer template, this will occur.
Have you put templates in Mailman's var/templates directory (possibly
named /var/lib/mailman/templates in the debian package). If so, can the
Mailman user (I think list in a debian package) find and read them?
