[Mailman-Users] domain isn't in my list of rcpthosts

Linux 7.2.  mailman+qmail+vpopmail.

An update from previous post.  I took localhost.localdomain out of
/etc/hosts.  The ehlo changed from "localhost.localdomain" to
"host4.scbbs.com" (64.233.20.66).  In /etc/tcp.smtp:

1.2.3.6:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
64.233.20.66:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""

It appears that qmail won't relay mail sent by mailman, even though
mailman is running on the localhost.  The default hostname for mailman
is: host4.scbbs.com.  What is it about the way mailman sends e-mail that
would cause this problem?  Any clue as to what I need to change?

# Site-specific settings
DEFAULT_HOST_NAME   = 'host4.scbbs.com'
DEFAULT_URL         = 'http://host4.scbbs.com/mailman/'
PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL  = '/pipermail'
PRIVATE_ARCHIVE_URL = '/mailman/private'

HOME_PAGE         = 'index.html'
MAILMAN_OWNER     = 'mailman-owner@%s' % DEFAULT_HOST_NAME

MTA_ALIASES_STYLE = 'qmail'
SMTPHOST = 'host4.scbbs.com'

The log:
