[Mailman-Users] (Newbie) Qmail and Mailman

I crave pardon for being a Mailman and Qmail newbie. I have installed Qmail 
on a Mandrake 7.2 system and it seems to work as far as I've tested it. I 
installed Mailman and, after wrestling with the usual permissions problem, 
check_perms seems OK.

When I create a new list with newlist, it tells me to create some aliases. 
I'm not sure how to do this. More particularly, I'm not sure *where* to 
create them. For list 'test3' I've tried creating

.qmail-test3

in ~/home/mailman, but then Qmail says there's no such user when I mail to 
test3 at cleansoft.net. I also tried creating

.qmail-test3

in /var/qmail/alias

but then Qmail routes all the mail for test3 at cleansoft.net into 
/home/mailman/Mailbox.

This has gotta be a really dumb question but could someone help me out?

Thanks!
