Ah, is mailmanctl running? When you build from source one of the things
that is easily missed is all the service process control stuff thats in
the RH rpm (using the RH supplied rpm should offer you the easiest path
to a working mailman installation on 3.0AS).

Mailman requires a master process (daemon) to be run (mailmanctl),
typically it is automatically started by adding it to the init sequence.
This requires an init script be installed, chkconfig be run to add it,
and for the service to be initially started. Did you do all these
things? Is mailmanctl running?
