The text I mentioned “If you are having trouble using the lists, please contact mailman at lists.xxx.com.” is displayed on the MailMan homepage, so people may click on the email address and send an email. As this email address is inexistent, it will not work. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Installing Mailman on lists.example.com will automatically create a 
special list, mailman, whose address will be mailman at lists.example.org, 
so the address should exist, that list may not be configured the way you 
want, which is why you were given instructions on how to configure it to 
work the way you want.
