Are you sure 192.168.1.1 isn't the DSL box?  192.168.1.1 is grabbed
for themselves by many DSL boxes.  But whatever.

Anyway, changing that to 127.0.0.1 should do what you want; the DSL
box can't get its hands on that since it never leaves the local host
at all.

Yeah, but it shouldn't be done in Mailman.  That's just going to add
confusing, potentially buggy code for a task that should be arranged
by the host OS for best results (including making the meaning of tests
clear).
