I am running qmail and mailman 2.0.7. I can get mailman to send out messages to the local users, but I can't get it to send out to users who are not hosted on the machine it is running. Any advice? I can provide some configuration if you want, though I am new at adminstrating qmail and mailman.

Yes: define "can't", ie. explain exactly what is happening and what is going wrong. Supply extracts from qmails logs. Use a packet-tracer (I quite like ethereal -- see www.ethereal.com) to watch the traffic between Mailman and qmail, and then see if qmail does anything after that.
Might also be useful to know which OS you're using, which version of Python, which version of qmail, and which (if any) qmail patches you're running. (ISTR that qmail is frozen at version 1.03, but lots and lots of people have provided add-on patches. Strange way to address users' feature wishes, but never mind.)

Are you new at Internet email administration in general, too? If so, you're in for a lot of hard work. Good luck.

I'll admit I've never used qmail and mailman before, but I have set up and adminstrated a majordomo / sendmail combo.
