For reasons I do not understand, although Mailman 3 keeps list configurations in the RDBMS, when it creates a list it *also* "touches" a directory for that list in the directory $var_dir/lists. (If I remember correctly, these are empty. It's a real directory, not "virtual".) Since I already knew how to search for the lists/$LIST/config,pck file used by Mailman 2, I used the same method for Mailman 3.
That directory is used to store messages being accumulated for the next digest in a digest.mmdf mailbox file.
$var_dir is set somewhere near the top of mailman.cfg. I don't know where to find that file in your installation, it's often in /etc/mailman3.
mailman conf -k var_dir will show the setting for $var_dir for various
layouts and mailman conf -k layout will show the layout in use.

I believe that's because "mailman create" wants the posting address and the list ID.
It just wants the posting address, not the list ID. I.e.
mailman create templist@sartrack.nz
create is a subcommand of the mailman command. createby itself as opposed tomailman create` looks like an artifact from cPanel's Mailman
2.1.
