It needs to use the MTA on whatever IP / port you configure
it to use.  By default this is port 25 on localhost.
Go to your mailhost instance in the ZMI and check what
you've got it set to, then check that the designated IP/port 
is actually available on the system that is running zope.
Maybe since your IP changed, there are routing or firewall issues.
