Yes but you also need aliases for the list you created:
test: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post test" test-admin: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner test" test-request: "|/usr/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test" test-owner: mailman
then do a newaliases.
Should I create these aliases for every new list (replacing test with the new listname)?
Of course. When you ran 'newlist' to create the list, it told you that.
When I create the above aliases, it should be without the " and the | characters I assume?
No, they're necessary.
Where can I find instructions on this? I can't find it in the Mailman documentation.
Uh...man aliases?...
It's really a bad idea to try to be a mailing list administrator without the slightest idea of how email works. Aliases are pretty basic knowledge; I'd do some studying were I you.

I'm pretty certain that it didn't but I will confirm that when I create the next list.

It doesn't say anything in man aliases about creating these aliases to get mailman to work as you most likely know.

I know quite a lot about email and is already running mailing-lists but on another platform.
