The Qmail comment was a joke. Hence the smiley ;)

The telnet test suggests that the problem's down to your postfix. I've
not touched postfix for aeons, but
http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html#virtual_alias and/or
http://www.postfix.org/faq.html#virtual_relay may be a good pointed for
fixing. (oh look, it's the first/second hit on a google search for
'"Relay access denied" postfix')

Hello there,

I have a couple of questions concerning mailman.

1. I am unable to access any of the web pages for Mailman. How do I
correct this problem?

Set-up your webserver to include the Mailman Apache stanzas. There's an
example, iirc, in /etc/mailman/ somewhere.

2. I also get a message saying that the subscribe through email cannot go
to Mailman. Here is the error message:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at trueband.net.

Ditch Qmail for a start ;)

I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following
addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

Looks like you're not relaying on the dyndns.org machine:

adam@tanqueray:~$ telnet blindscanner.dyndns.org 25
Trying 75.104.20.208...

So, as the errors say, relay'ing isn't permitted/being denied, so you
need to fix your Postfix install.
