1. Can I get Mailman to send mail to an SMTP server on another machine?
Yup. No problem. Just set appropriately the DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST in the mm_cfg.py file. Or, you could configure the local MTA to dump all outgoing mail on a relay server (perhaps provided by your ISP). Or you could do both.
2. Does Mailman require a FQDN for itself? (If I don't run a full MTA then it seems to me I don't need to have a domain name or static IP.)
Not really. I mean, you need to have full domain names that the machine is going to pretend to be, defined in the mm_cfg.py file, but those don't actually have to have much to do with the hostname of the machine, etc.... Just make sure that the mail and web servers on the machine are configured to match.
3. The CGI's that serve as the web interface, do they require that the rest of the Mailman machinery be on the same machine?
No, you could have the web stuff on one machine and the mail stuff on another, perhaps shared via NFS.
