yes i tried installing mailman ( http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-install/mailman-install.html ) , but the installtion is not so easy, and is there any other way to create a mailing list
Also i need to manually create mailboxes in the format /home/vmail/$domain/$user
( also if possible how wud i mannually assign the quota)

you dont do it manually - you enter the values in the mysql database - either manually or by using some gui tool and then send a welcome mail to the user in question. The mailboxen get created automagically.

You just need to use apt-get/yum to install. Its easier that way.

Have you already followed the documentation given at howtoforge? Like this for example? http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier

you dont. You create unix users - postfix just uses them. For virtual domains you follow the workaround tutorial and continue asking your doubts in their list.

Ummm, is `cadduser' part of the Sendmail package?
It has been a long time since I used Sendmail, so I would loe to know about it.

Once you create the site mailing list called "Mailman", mailman will tell you what alias entries to add on the mail server (typically /etc/aliases).
Like this: linuxers: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post linuxers"
Other small domain specific settings you can do in mm_cfg.py.
