Yes that was the problem.  The OpenDKIM maintainers deprecated a
configuration option (SenderHeaders) that we were using so the
opendkim service would not restart.  So there was nothing listening at
port 8891. Removing the optin fixed the problem.

I can find no discussion of why this option was removed and the
OpenDKIM readme (http://www.opendkim.org/opendkim-README) still makes
reference to it as the preferred way of handling mailing lists.  Go
figure.

B.T.W.
Redhat has apparently 'fixed' (I think) Mailman to deal with the
Yahoo/AOL - DMARC problems. But only in RHEL5 (so far). As they have
moved all discussion of the bug behind a paywall I can no longer
follow developments and so cannot be sure.
