Subsequent parts of the doc show the path "/opt/mailman/mm/var/*" which should correspond to "/usr/lib/mailman/mm/var/*" on my instance. However, I don't see any instructions on how to get the "/mm" folder and the associated sub-folders. I just have "/usr/lib/mailman"
I think if you have
var_dir: /usr/lib/mailman/mm/varin the /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg file you create per https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#installing-mailm..., then starting Mailman core/usr/lib/mailman/venv/bin/mailman startwill create it.
Thanks Mark, that was very helpful. I now have "mm" folder.
I have reached the section "Starting Mailman automatically". After creating the cfg file. Here is what I get:
# systemctl status mailman3

Mailman starts well from virtual environment though, ... but systemd doesn't replicate that success.
