Yes. It seems that would be the best way to do this.

Creating and removing lists is straightforward. There are scripts
newlist and rmlist in Milman's bin/ directory. Each has a --help option
to get it to explain itself.

The MTA is potentially the tricky part and I too know nothing about mmdf
and can't help there except to say that whatever MTA changes are
required for removing one list and creating another would be exactly the
same for renaming an existing list.

It would be best to go to the sysadmin for this.
