How do I start creating a mailing list?

bin/newlist

or something like

<http://www.example.com/mailman/create>

I have a mailing list and is it possible to duplicate the mailing list and put somebody else as the administrator of the duplicated mailing list.

It depends what you mean by 'duplicate'. If you mean duplicate everything including the list name and posting address, then the answer is no. If you mean create a list with a different name but the same configuration and membership, then yes. How you would do this depends on the kind of access you have to the mailman installation.

You might be able to do it by copying the lists/<listname>/config.pck file to lists/<newname>/config.pck and then changing the 'real_name' attribute, or you may be able to do it with tools such as bin/config_list, bin/list_members and bin/add_members, or you may need to create and configure the list manually via the web and use the admin mass subscribe feature to add the members.
