Is someone listening to port 25?  What happens if you

  telnet localhost 25

on the host in question?  (I assume your Mailman host and mail server
are the same host.)

Try a simple SMTP session, emulating what Mailman does, eg.

  EHLO localhost
  MAIL FROM:<test-admin at your.domain>
  RCPT TO:<blahblah at example.com>

Any clue?
