I use postfix. I have several different lists that I host through different virtual domains. No problems so far (out of the ordinary).

More than likely yes it is the problem, if you're using a distribution that has been released in, say, the past year or so, and haven't touched the config files.
As far as where your config files are, look for 'em in /etc/mail (on most distributions). If they're not there, grab a big ol cup of coffee, pull up your distribution's manual and start reading away. You'll have to do the latter anyways I'm sure, because enabling sendmail to relay to x server is not fun by any means.
yes I'm using sendmail. later versions of sendmail disallow relaying? ugh... this could be the issue then. where is the sendmail configuration file (default) on the server? i was unsuccessful at trying to find it earlier on thanks

Well, check to make sure you've actually set up sendmail, or which ever MTA you ARE using correctly then. Relaying being prohibited usually means you have NOT set up your MTA on

server correctly. Remember, by DEFAULT the later versions of sendmail deny relaying. This is something you're going to have to change.

hi, on my DNS server i set lists.mydomain.org to point to the IP addy of the server Mailman is on. I'm required to use LISTS.mydomain.org, because mydomain.org is already being used for another server.
as for Qmail, nope I'm not using it...

mylist@lists.mydomain.org (reason: 550 relaying to mylist@lists.mydomain.org prohibited by administrator)
is lists.mydomain.org a different server or just a virtual domain on the same machine? In that case you should add it to the list of localhosts.
For
Qmail this would be the file /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts
try to send to mylist@mydomain.org and get rid of "lists."
