[Mailman-Users] Problems to startup Mailman after installation

[Rupak Mohan]

Dear All,
 
I have installed Mailman 2.1.2 successfully.
 
The problem is :
 
I created a newlist,it says
 
# /bin newlist mylist
Enter the email of the person running the list:mylist at rupak.com
Initial mylist password:
-----------------------------------
mylist: "|/var/mailman/mail/wrapper post mylist"
mylist-admin: "|/var/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner mylist"
mylist-request: "|/var/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd mylist"
mylist-owner: mylist-admin
-------
etc..

To finish creating your mailing list,you must edit your /etc/aliases (or equivalent) file by
adding the fllowing lines, and possibly running the newaliases program
Hit enter to notify mylist owner..
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
and comes out..
 
(1) Now the problem is there is no /aliases directory under /etc.
and there is no aliases folder at all on my system , but i could find aliases.h 
in /usr/include/aliases.h.(but i am sure this is not the right place for aliases)..
 
so where & how should i store the above aliases.??
 
(2) My default MTA is SendMail (on RedHat linux 7.2).
so what should options should i configure on SendMail to keep my lists working
 
(3) when i try to access www.rupak.com/mailman/create
my browser returns "Unknown Host"
 
solution for this as well..
 
Plz suggest me , how to proceed further.
 
Thanx in advance..
 
Cheers
Rupak
