It can become very complex.
Most basically ......
There is an MX pointer that points to your mail server ( for more info google ==> MX record )
Email can be redirected several times until it gets where you want it to go.

There are several ways to point to a website .....  and there can be redirection.
Since Mailman requires some web support, you can locate that part on the same server as Drupal or on a different server.  ( I know nada about Mailman )
