First place to check is the log files for Mailman: ~mailman/logs/.. Then run through your MTA's log files.
If you don't find any errors logged or bounced/refused messages then you need to look at your firewall rules and the setup of your MTA. Are you installing this on a Linux box? What Distribution? Red Hat adds some interesting security "features" to Sendmail that need to be circumvented for Mailman to work properly. Good Luck!
