On a Dedicated or Virtual Private Server:
You can use the locate command to discover where your newlist file lives:
locate newlist | grep -v template
And so then:
# /usr/lib/mailman/bin/newlist your-list-name@example.com
prompt > Enter the email of the person running the list:
prompt > Initial mailman-test password:
And place the text it generates into /etc/aliases or its equivalent on your system. With Postfix installed, for instance, you might need to paste that text into /etc/postfix/aliases (even though /etc/aliases exists.)
