1. If i want to create a list, there is another mystery, the "List creator's
password", which i never had given. If i look into the doc in:

http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node45.html

they send me to (7):

http://www.list.org/mailman-install/customizing.html#customizing

where there is no mention at all about this. So i had to set it myself with
"mmsitepass".

You're right. They should have sent you to section 12 - http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node44.html

You'd have already read this if you'd read the manual in sequence.

3. When i create the new list i get:

"Bug in Mailman version 2.1.9
We're sorry, we hit a bug!
Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem. Printing of
traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited, but
the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs."


But with list_lists i can see that the list was created (without
notification mail).

Is this true? A "bug" in Mailman?

Not in this case.

In the error log of mailman i find:

Jul 10 12:07:37 2010 (5257) command failed: /usr/sbin/postmap
/var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman (status: 1, Operation not permitted)

Looks like a permissions problem.

But the rights of virtual-mailman seem ok:

ls -l /var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman
-rw-rw---- 1 www-data list 1,6K 2010-07-10 12:07 virtual-mailman

What about the permissions on /var/lib/mailman/data ? Postmap may not be able to write the output file.
