From a little googling I got the following:

It seems that you should read the /mailman/README.SuSE document on how you solve your problem.

But I coulden't find that and see what to do - so instead I found:

http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.025.htp

Maybe that could help your problem? (Link about how to create a Site wide mailinglist which is required by mailman)

okay, i found this:
http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-install/node40.html
when i want to create the mailman list, i get this error:

dreambox:/usr/lib/mailman/bin # ./newlist mailman
Enter the email of the person running the list: [email protected]l
Initial mailman password:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./newlist", line 219, in ?
