Fixed sometime this past weekend by adding appropriate IP addresses to mynetworks in /etc/postfix/main.cf.

There still seems to be lingering problem of some sort: ​http://clozure.com/pipermail/openmcl-devel/2009-December/010849.html

It turns out that there is a bug in the account manager plug-in that causes a redirect loop following an "I forgot my password" request.

A workaround is to add 

[account-manager]
force_change_passwd = false
...

to the trac.ini file.

To remove any lingering forced password resets, run 

% sqlite3 /path/to/trac-env/db/trac.db
SQLite version 3.4.2
Enter ".help" for instructions
sqlite> delete from session_attribute where name='force_change_passwd';

See ​http://trac-hacks.org/ticket/3233.

I applied and tested the workaround, and will mail stassats.
