Can anyone explain the difference betweem SMTPDirect and Sendmail ?
SMTPDirect is generic and will work with any SMTP compliant MTA for handling outgoing messages. As a consequence, the MTA does not have to reside on the same machine as Mailman.
Sendmail runs/spawns a local instance of sendmail (or any MTA that is masquerading as sendmail on your system) and is deprecated for performance and security reasons. Read the comments at the head of $prefix/Mailman/Handlers/Sendmail.py and do not use it.
If I select Sendmail will outgoing mail be held in Sendmail spool queue?
Yes. All the delivery method does is pass outgoing messages to the MTA.
