These errors are reported from the outgoing MTA to Mailman when Mailman
tries to send a message (in this case to root[at]t2.pvt.cz).

These log entries are the delivery of posts to Mailman and represent
sucessfull deliveries despite the warnings.

Which indicates that the outgoing MTA Mailman is talking to is neither
sendmail nor Postfix.

It is not a Mailman message. It comes from the MTA.
Have you redefined SMTPHOST and/or SMTPPORT in mm_cfg.py. If not,
Mailman is trying to send via SMTP to 'localhost' port 25. What happens
if you 'telnet localhost 25'? What MTA answers?
