At the moment I am able to create lists and messages from the list are successfully sent out to list-owner or list members. What I am unable to do is send messages from a remote account to the list.

Sounds to me like your mail server is not accepting incoming connections, or there might be a firewall blocking incoming connections.
A few other items... I've checked the MTA logs at /var/log/maillog and am not receiving any information in this file indicating that the messages sent from a remote host ever interacted with my local box running Mailman.
Yup. It's either not listening (or at least not listening to the right address), or it's being blocked somewhere.
However, debugging this part of the problem is going to be specific to your OS (and how it handles host-level firewalling), your network connection device (are you behind some sort of NAT/router which is effectively firewalling incoming connections), your MTA (maybe it's not configured to listen to the right address or addresses), and your service provider (maybe they block all incoming port 25 connections).
There's nothing Mailman-specific here. We're not really likely to be able to provide you much more help.
