This sounds more like a Usenet group, rather than a mailing list,
though some groups are uni- or bi- directionally gatewayed.
 
For more info about starting lists, e-mail [log in to unmask]
with a text:
 
get NEW-LIST CREATE
get NEW-LIST README
get NEW-LIST SEARCHES
get NEW-LIST WOUTERS
 
Other advice is to read the expert documentation provided by
Jim (gerland@ubvm) that he has stored on the archives.  Email
[log in to unmask]  The INDEX is called LSVOWNER, but
the doc is called LSVOWNER FIL-LIST.  I'm including an abstracted
INDEX: you should GET the file.
 
(INDex LSVOWNER)
GET LSVOWNER FIL-LIST
