Meant to send to the whole list, in case anyone's interested...
assign the port to SMTPPORT if it's not 25.
I did that, and it seems to be working now. Thanks very much.
I'm not sure if this would have changed your take on this or not, but I am able to telnet from the box to the ip and the domain name on port 25, but not localhost. i.e.,
telnet localhost 25 gives me 'connection refused' telnet <ip> 25 and telnet <domain> 25 both give me a prompt
Anyway thanks.

Yes.
Since my messages are reaching mailman, I'm not sure. If it's a problem, how can I correct.
It has nothing to do with incoming messages reaching Mailman. It is Mailman trying to send outgoing messages via SMTP to localhost port 25.
You have to configure sendmail to listen on localhost (127.0.0.1) port 25 (specified in Mailman as SMTPPORT = 0 which allows smtplib to use the default) or you can specify a different SMTP server and/or port in mm_cfg.py with SMTPHOST = and SMTPPORT =.
How do you send mail from this machine? Do you use an MUA which connects to an SMTP server to send the mail, e.g. sendmail on this machine or some other SMTP server? If so, assign the address or fully qualified domain name of this server to SMTPHOST in mm_cfg.py and assign the port to SMTPPORT if it's not 25.
Either that or configure sendmail to listen for connection on localhost.
