Hi, Mark: You are right. I will forward the info to the people in Croatia. 
They are not familiar with Mailman but are highly qualified IT experts. Just 
want to know what I will be telling them - for my own benefit. Thanks.

Win Aung.

Mail Transfer Agent. This is the service which receives mail from the
network and delivers mail to the network via SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer
Protocol).

Common MTAs include Postfix, Sendmail, Exim, Qmail and Courrier. See
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_transfer_agent>.

I respectfully suggest if you don't understand these things, you are
over your head and you will need the help and support of the people who
administer the server on which Mailman is installed at University (B).
There has to be someone there who understands what an MTA is and how to
configure the one in use. We can help with Mailman specific issues that
come up, but teaching *nix system administration is beyond the scope of
this list.
