Thank you for answering. For me as a mailman/sendmail newbie this is really not easy.

Well, the Mailman aliases I had already inserted in /etc/mail/aliases

like that:
"mailman:              "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman"
mailman-admin:        "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman admin mailman"
mailman-bounces:      "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman bounces mailman"
mailman-confirm:      "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman confirm mailman"
mailman-join:         "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman join mailman"
mailman-leave:        "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman leave mailman"
mailman-owner:        "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman owner mailman"
mailman-request:      "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman request mailman"
mailman-subscribe:    "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe mailman"
mailman-unsubscribe:  "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe mailman"

If I look at the sendmail-log is says at /var/log/mail.log (I think this is the right logfile?):

What could that mean?

You wrote it could be a DNS-problem?
What do you mean with that?
Do I need  a DNS-Server to use mailman/sendmail?

Thank you very much!!
Kai
