Neither is Qmail, but ...

Mailman delivers to the SMTP server and port defined by SMTPHOST and
SMTPPORT which default to 'localhost' and 0 (which really means 25)
respectively. You can assign these any values you wish in mm_cfg.py
(or remove or change an existing assignment) if that will solve the
problem.

However, it really seems that Qmail is not configured properly if it
won't relay mail originating at 'localhost'.
