I usually find such howtos are filled with a lot of useless and/or
incorrect information.  Though not a lot has changed since FC5 (or
even FC3) regarding mailman's setup.

The documentation included in the mailman package is fairly good.  And
if it leaves you stuck at a particular point, you can always search
for help with just that step or ask in the mailman-users list.  (I
used to help out there a little, but one of the upstream developers
does a much better job of that task, so I haven't bothered to be very
active there in a long time.  It's a generally friendly and helpful
place.)

Start by reading /usr/share/doc/mailman-*/INSTALL.REDHAT.  That
documents fairly well what steps you need to take to complete the
things that the rpm isn't quite able to automate for you.

I'm a fan of postfix for the mail server, and mailman integrates
nicely with it.  It can also integrate nicely with exim, though I've
never used exim by choice.  Integrting it with sendmail is a bit more
work, but is possible.  (By integrating, I mostly mean that mailman
can help automate the task of adding the needed aliases for new
lists.)
