Which server has Mailman installed?

It looks like W.

This can work, but I might install Mailman on P and configure Postfix on
P per <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node12.html>.

If Mailman is on W, you have to configure Postfix on P to relay list
mail to W and have some kind of MTA/MDA on W to deliver that mail to
Mailman.

If Mailman is on P you need to share Mailman's file system or at least
$var-prefix via NFS or whatever between W and P.

Either way, you need to set SMTPHOST in Mailman/mm_cfg.py to point to R.

If your only issue is P's "user unknown in relay recipient table" see
<user unknown in relay recipient table> for how to get Mailman to write
it's virtual-mailman file which can be used as relay_recipient_maps on P.
