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!
