This was a problem I had too when I upgraded from one version of mailman 
to another , which introduced the need of the existence mailman 
list...This list is necessary since all the error messages go to it.
You can imagine the headache I had until I figured out that I had to 
create that list to make the other 200 lists work :|

To configure the server , just follow the instructions from 
/usr/share/doc/mailman-*/INSTALL.REDHAT (this is using the latest 
mailman package for FC2). It has all the necessary details for setting 
up mailman from the RPM package. (Of course it takes in consideration 
that your webserver and e-mail server are configured already)
You should also take a look at the docs regarding the integration of 
mailman and the smtp server of your choice. (The docs are at 
/usr/share/doc/mailman-2.1.5/ )

I'm unable to set a mailman install here for now , but if you have any 
problems , just post it and I'll take a look.
