Anyone who can run the newlist command as the mailman user (or root)
can use it to create a list, and can do pretty much anything else to
mailman, but this is a pretty tight restriction, at least on most
machines.

Not so for web access, thus the list create page requires a password -
List creator's (authentication) password: (the last entry on the
form). Are you providing either the site password or the special list
creator password (both generated by bin/mmsitepass) in this entry?
