[Mailman-Users] new trouble with existing lists

[backdoc]

Thank you very much for the help.  The problem was that I didn't have a 
mailman mailing list and I needed to start the mailmanctl daemon.

I wasn't aware of these changes to Mailman.

I have a new question, though.  Where should I put the 
"/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/bin/mailmanctl start" command in FreeBSD so 
that it starts on boot?

TIA,
Darren
