Thanks, for the advice. But I've got one other problem. I'm not getting any confirmation emails either. I don't get one after creating a list or trying to subscribe. In logs/subscribe it says that it is pending for the emails I tried to subscribe. I'm assuming it'll be like that until they confirm, which won't happen cuz the email isn't getting sent. I can't figure out where I went wrong.
Thanks!

It will for Postfix and a few other MTA's that have been integrated to work with Mailman. The lists were created fine (via the web-tool), so now you just need to add the aliases manually.
