And is that also true if it is sent via SMTPHOST:SMTPPORT (assuming
they are different from localhost)?

If so I don't know what the problem is. You can check Mailman's smtp
log and error log for messages at the time a list is cerated. Also,
check MTA logs.

If MTA = 'Manual' (the default), when a list is created via the web,
Mailman will send the 'aliases' mail to mailman-owner@(the email
domain of the list). Mailman should receive that and resend it to the
actual list owner.

If lists are created via bin/newlist, there is never an aliases email.
The aliases are just reported to stdout of the newlist command.
