I did just as you recommended but it didn't change the behavior displayed by
the listinfo command.

It worked just as you had recommended. I was able to assign new site and
list creator passwords. I haven't yet had the opportunity to test it as I am
first trying to get the problem above resolved before I make attempts to
create other lists.

One thing I noticed is that I can create lists under
www.domain.com/mailman/create or domain.com/mailman/create. Each takes me to
a page titled "Create a www.domain.com Mailing List" and "Create a
domain.com Mailing List" respectively.

If not the way you suggested above, what could be the problem and how can I
resolve it ?

Thank you again,
