 From /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Defaults.py:

# SMTP host and port, when DELIVERY_MODULE is 'SMTPDirect'.  Make sure the
# host exists and is resolvable (i.e., if it's the default of "localhost" be
# sure there's a localhost entry in your /etc/hosts file!)
SMTPHOST = 'localhost'
SMTPPORT = 0                                      # default from smtplib


Of course, if you want to make any changes to use alternative 
hostnames or ports, you'd make those in your mm_cfg.py file and then 
restart Mailman.


Take a long look through this file.  There's lots of good stuff here. 
Consider this file to be part of the documentation you should be 
looking at.
