Dick is correct, it's all there, albeit cryptic for those inexperienced with compiling and configuring software using configure and make.
I do find myself wondering why more if this can't be automated by an installer and ready-to-run binaries, but that's just my win background - It's easier for admins to spend company money on software licenses I guess than to roll up the shirt sleeves and fight with it.
Turns out my GID for the mailing was 99, I found this out by mail that bounced, the recommended script for us Postfix'ers "python -c'import os; print os.getgid()'" returned 538...not sure why, but wanted to report that to the developers.
Special thanks to Dick and Ashley,
Greg Long

exception that the mail isn't going through - I get "unknown user" error. Was I to create an account?
because there IS no account created with the ./newlist script,
newlist instructs you to add aliases to support the new list.
The section of INSTALL that talks about running newlist also discusses this.
Really: follow INSTALL, step by step. If you don't understand a step, stop and understand it, by hook or crook. It's all in there, and it's all necessary.
