The command
/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman
takes the standard input (the message) and creates a queue entry in
Mailman's 'in' queue (maybe at /var/lib/mailman/qfiles/in/) containing
the message as a 'post' to the 'mailman' list.
All posts to any Mailman lists are handled in exactly the same way -
only the list name is different.

The above is talking about the Mailman web interface. The "admin
overview page" to which I refer is the web page at a URL like
http://your_host/mailman/admin
and the listinfo overview is at something like
http://your_host/mailman/listinfo

And any follow-up questions should be posted there, not here as this
discussion is way off topic for dovecot.
