Mailman connects to the news server as a regular 
user, not as another server.  In other words, it 
should log in with the userid and password of a 
specific user.  Some news servers direct 
server-to-user traffic through certain protocols 
on certain servers, and server-to-server traffic 
through different protocols to other servers. 
Make sure you're using the right protocol with 
the right userid and password, to the right 
server.
