If you host mailman on a different server then the website you also need to worry about the DNS name the mailman web front end is tied to not just the MX record to direct e-mail to the proper mail server.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I don't think dynamic DNS is needed here. This is simply a standard setup with an MX host that doesn't match the A record for the www entry. I am going to ramble on a bit and show off my configuration. There is nothing special about this but I realize that a lot of people may never have seen a DNS record before or realize how to query this type of information. <br>
