Ok, so now we've found what machine the mail list is on, but that machine
doesn't know about the list.  You need to tell the SMTP daemon how to
deliver messages to Mailman.  The specifics of this will depend on which
SMTP server you are using (sendmail, exim, postfix, qmail).  Look at
Chapter 6 in the Mailman Installation Manual:
