    Nope, by hand.

    I open two windows to my server:

    window 1 [ as mailman ]:
        ./bin/newlist
            - list name
            - email
            - password
            [ pause - go to window 2 ]

    window 2 [ as root ]:
        vi /etc/mail/aliases
            add list aliases
        vi /etc/mail/virtusertable
            add list users
        makemap on virtusertable
        newaliases
            [ back to window 1 ]

    window 1 [ as mailman ]:
        hit return
            MM sends out email.
