For some things, yes.

There is a limit to the mail command interface for Mailman. Some
user-level documentation on this subject has been written up at
<http://www.list.org/mailman-member/node10.html>, but the majority of
administrative functions were intended to be used from the web
interface, or from the command-line interface on the server.
Unfortunately, I'm not aware of anyone having written any
documentation on what administrative functions can be performed via
the mail interface. That sort of information would normally be
available in the List Administrator's Manual (see
<http://www.list.org/mailman-admin/index.html>), or in the Site
Administrator's documentation (see <http://www.list.org/site.html>
and
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.009.htp>).
Unfortunately, the information on these pages is incomplete.
