If "from=<d> to=<>" are literally what is in the log message, this is a
message with envelope from 'd' and to ''. I'm not sure how this could
occur (possibly a broken spambot), but it doesn't seem to have
anything to do with Mailman or any message to a Mailman list.

Tell the admins of the server at 'external IP Address' to quit engaging
in bogus SMTP dialogs with your server or block the IP address with
iptables or another firewall.

Do you actually have a problem with Mailman and posts to Mailman lists?
If so, what are the details of that problem?
