In Mailman 2.1.x, you MUST have the 'mailman' list. It will go away in
Mailman 3.0, but for now you need it. Many things depend on it.

That's not really very friendly to your users. If you don't want to
accept mail to the mailman list, that's fine, but you should consider
patching Mailman/Cgi/listinfo.py and Mailman/Cgi/admin.py to remove
the lines about mailing to the site list.
