You need shell access (command line access) to the server that hosts
Mailman. If your Mailman is hosted by a service rather than on your
own server, and you don't have 'login' access to that server, you
probably can't see these things.

Mailman's logs may be in /var/mailman/logs/ or as defined by the
LOG_DIR variable in mm_cfg.py or Defaults.py.

MTA logs and queues depend on the MTA, but you can usually see what's
in the queues with the 'mailq' command.

The defaults for new lists are set by the installation in mm_cfg.py.
The default for the defaults is "Yes" for all 3.
