[Mailman-Users] Mailman doesn't create List Owner

[Jessica Koeppel]

and don't forget that most mail servers' configurations 
will require you to run something to get the mail server
to recognize the new aliases (ie; sendmail's "newaliases",
and postfix's newaliases or "postalias hash:/path/to/aliases-file"
or whatever's appropriate for your configuration).
