You actually want
rpm -qa | grep -i mailman

The output would look something like
mailman-2.0.13-1
There should be one and only one line of output - if theres no output it
wasn't installed with rpm, more than one and things are considerably
more complex and you may have a confused system....

In this case you don't have the rpm package file to hand so you want to
get the data from the installed rpms database. You use the same command
without the "p" modifier:-
rpm -qi mailman-2.0.13-1
or just
rpm -qi mailman
since you don't need to give it the version and release number
