If you create a list via bin/newlist, the list owner address should
receive an emailed notice provided the '-q' option is not given to
newlist, and provided Mailman (mailmanctl and the qrunners) is running.

If the qrunners are not running, the notice will be queued and will be
sent when Mailman is started.

The list owner is only an email address. Nothing is required of it other
than it be valid. The person running bin/newlist itself must be either
root or a member of Mailman's group.

What is the exact error? Are you certain you are giving the creator
password or site admin password exactly as set by mmsitepass?

Lists are created either via the web create or bin/newlist.

The site admin and/or list creator passwords are set/changed with
bin/mmsitepass.

List admin and moderator passwords can be set/changed via the list's web
admin interface. List admin passwords can also be changed via bin/change_pw.
