Hi, I'm new to mailman and could use some advise as far as setting up a new listserv. Do I need to rent server space to hold the list data?

It depends.... You can hire a setup from some ISPs which are ready to go, otherwise, you need a system to run mailman; that could be a VM, amazon-hosted instance, or a standalone machine. Have you looked at the mailman FAQ? (link in the message footer)
Also, 'listserv' is a name/trademark for a different mailing list manager (MLM).
Later,

Hi Matthew,
I would strongly suggest having your own local storage space for this. However, I would recommend reading the documentation pertaining to system requirements before proceeding.

Probably. You will need some form of hosting or you will need a dedicated IP and your own server that you can manage and keep up all the time. Getting set up with hosting is probably easier. Many web hosting providers include Mailman as a part of their package, which may make this even easier.
Do you currently have a web site and a domain that this mailing list would be relevant to?

Hi,
If you don't want to rent a server and install and maintain mailman, you can find a list of Mailman hosting services here:
