The mail exchange server (or server) for thatdomain.com is not
accepting port 25 connects from your server. The server may be
temporarily down or blocking your IP or just misconfigured so no mail
can be sent to that domain.

Only the admins of that server can tell you which and if they are
blocking your IP, why.

I don't think this is a Mailman issue. If try to send mail directly
from your server via some MUA, you'll see the same result.
