I am trying to install mailman from the ports.

The MTA is sendmail, where could I find configure example?
You can have Mailman use a non-local SMTP server by adjusting the
Mailman/mm_cfg.py file (see Defaults.py), but it's somewhat
annoying to do this as you will have to copy over the list aliases
onto the mailserver, rather than having the newlist command do so
automagically for you.
I suppose you could do the same for a non-local webserver, but that
would be even more difficult: you'd almost have to set up
filesharing between the two machines so that the list archives and
the various Mailman web resources are available on the webserver.
If you've already got a webserver somewhere that you'd want to use,
you'd be better off running Mailman on there....
Others will probably laugh me off the list, but my recommendation for
such things is to use the Apache ProxyPass stuff. My mail server
here contains all the web interface controls/etc on the mail server
itself. My webserver has a simply ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse
statement to make it appear as though everything resides on the one
web server, and thus, one domain. The advantage to this, as well, is
there are no direct connections made to my mail server for the web
interface through the firewall, since everything from outside is
hitting my dedicated web server.
