How to make Mailman authenticate itself to Postfix (or other SMTP
server) while sending mail?
=======================================================================

localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]
Oct 9 22:07:25 srv-1 postfix/smtpd[15205]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from
localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]: 554 5.7.1

I think Mailman is not authenticating itself to Postfix here.
I already solved this by telling Postfix to allow mail from local
senders without authentication (permit_mynetworks), but I wonder if
Mailman could authenticate itself to the SMTP server.
Another option would be to force Mailman to use some local mail delivery
facilities instead of TCP/IP. This is what mail(1) seems to be doing:

See? Here a Postfix thing called "pickup" is invoked, instead of smtpd.
No authentication is required, I guess. mail(1) can, how about Mailman?
Thanks.
