Correct. The var directory (and database, etc.) don't get created until the
first time Mailman "starts", but my recommendation is to run
$ bin/mailman info
to get that initial file system layout, including the var dir. You might want
to create your mailman.cfg file first though.
After you've run the info command and seen where it's putting things, adjust
your mailman.cfg file accordingly. When you're happy with it, then you can
run 'start' to get the runners going.
Cheers,
