Yep... just run "bin/newlist" for a testlist to get a template.
When you run newlist you will get four aliases lines at the end. It isn't
quite clear that these have to be inserted in your aliases file manually,
but you have to.

There is no way to automate it, yet.
You'll have to insert the aliases in your aliases file when you create a new
list.

But AFAIR this is scheduled to be in the next (2.1) release.
Although I can imagine this is quite hard with all the different MTA's
around.
