Mailman does not create a mailbox
I am a newbie to Mailman so I hope that I am just omitting something very basis. I have created new Mailman list and attempted to send mail to the list. Unfortunately, the mail is bounced because there is no mailbox on the mail server for the newly created list.
There are other working lists on the same server but I do not see a mailbox or alias for those lists, unless I am looking in the wrong place.
Can anyone help?

Mailman list mail is not delivered to a mailbox. It is delivered by the MTA to a wrapper program which invokes a script to queue the mail in the appropriate Mailman queue.
Whether this is done via aliases or programatically depends on the specific MTA and how it is set up. If Mailman is properly configured and manual installation of aliases is required, bin/newlist will print a list of the required aliases when it creates the list, and the web create interface will mail a list of the required aliases to the owner of the site (mailman) list.
So, what is the MTA, and what if anything is the setting for MTA in mm_cfg.py?
