Check Sendmail and make sure that it will accept any connection from your local box: netstat -na |grep 25
This is a *very* common problem with the RPM install. The install cannot reconfigure Sendmail for you so Sendmail is still stuck in its high-security mode... You can either check the archives for the fix, or simply read the Mailman docs that were installed by the RPM - there is a file that specifically talks about this problem with Sendmail and how to fix it.
