Hi, Tim
From /usr/local/share/doc/mailman/NEWS:
o There is now a `site list' which is a mailing list that must
be created first, and from which all password reminders
appear to come from. It is recommended that this list be
called "mailman@your.site".
After creating the above list, mailmanctl worked!
