Postfix, Qmail, Exim, or Sendmail.
Personally I would go with Debian's default of Exim and follow the well written instructions in the Debian package file /usr/share/doc/mailman/README.Exim4.Debian, it really is a cut and paste setup. This basically emulates the Postfix virtual style setup, but includes the routers etc to get Exim to see the relevant virtual aliases files. I have converted three Mailman setups that were using Postfix (on a mix of Ubuntu and FreeBSD) to this setup, and it worked fine. In all these cases this was a separate box managing a bit of web stuff and lists, not the primary email server. Thanks.
