[Mailman-Users] Aliases email for new list?

[Raewyn Smith]

Thanks Jim for you reply.
So if a new list is created by anyone other than me, I have no way of knowing about it so I can change the aliases file?
I am still puzzled by what the README file says - "... you'll need to do the extra step of installing the mailing list aliases manually.  Follow the instructions in an email message that you should have received."  I now assume (let me know if I am on the right track here) that the email referred to there is the one sent to the new list-owner. But even in that message, there is no mention of any aliases.
 
Thanks,
Raewyn.

It is a bad assumption. Mailman only sends and e-mail to the list owner.

However I assume another email should be sent to me (as the mailman administrator) letting me know that the list was created and listing the alises needed to be added to the /etc/aliases file - but I'm not getting that email.

When I try email that address I get a message sent to "mailman-owner at ..." with subject "Uncaught bounce notification".  I have set up the aliases for the mailman list and the 'list administrator', of the mailman list is me. What is the difference between mailman-owner and mailman-admin? Where should those addresses come from. Why does an email to mailman-owner bounce?
