Polly,

To create a new list you need to use the "newlist" command.  Go to
your mailman directory and issue the command "bin/newlist --help". 
It will return instructions for creating a list.

You'll need to have root access to edit the /etc/mail/access file
and run "newaliases"

You can add subscribers by the administrators interface.  Whether
your version supports the "add_members" commands depends upon the
version you're using.

What version are you using?

What kind of access do you have to the server?
