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

Ditch Qmail for a start ;)

  adam at tanqueray:~$ dig -x 75.104.20.208 | grep PTR
  208.20.104.75.in-addr.arpa. 	78874 	IN    	PTR	75-104-20-208.cust.wildblue.net.

  adam at tanqueray:~$ host -t mx blindscanner.dyndns.org

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

adam at tanqueray:~$ telnet blindscanner.dyndns.org 25
  Trying 75.104.20.208...
  Connected to blindscanner.dyndns.org.
  Escape character is '^]'.
  helo tanq

  250 2.1.0 Ok
  rcpt to:<blind-scanner at blindscanner.dyndns.org>
  554 5.7.1 <blind-scanner at blindscanner.dyndns.org>: Relay access denied

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