Hello Mario
I am using a virtual server, and my hosting provider is not going to let me create any group as root.
Do I stand a chance to install Mailman anyway?
IMHO no way. You have to create a new user on the system for mailman. Then you must create a directory and set the gid on it. After installing mailman you need to make entries in the alias file of sendmail and you have to edit the httpd.conf file of the apache server.
