+# Creating a new mailing list
+
+* Log into mailman01.phx2.fedoraproject.org
+* Run the following command:
+
+````
+sudo -u mailman mailman3 create <listname>@lists.fedora(project|hosted).org --owner <username>@fedoraproject.org --notify
+````
+
+Note that list names should make sense, and not contain the words 'fedora'
+or 'list' - the fact that it has to do with Fedora and that it's a list
+are both obvious from the domain of the email address.
