You can do this just fine, but it becomes a bit ridiculous. You have to have an MTA on the server that is running Mailman (something has to accept the mail, and something has to send it!). And then you have to replicate the local mailman aliases from the local server onto your main mail server.
It does work fine, and I've set this up for folks who wanted a separate internal server running Mailman, but used an external mail server for all the corporate inbound mail. Still, I setup the internal Mailman server to do its own outbound mail. Worked fine and didn't overload the existing systems. On the mailman server, I wrote a script that replaced "newaliases" and performed the functions of "newaliases" but also moved a copy out to the external mailserver.
