You would typically log into the list administration interface at http://yourdomain.com/mailman/admin/listname > And when I used Putty to SSH into my new server, I couldn't determine > where > Mailman's install directory was.

This is a list that supports mailman, not one that tells you how to use the services of a host (Godaddy) who is not willing to support this wonderful software. It seems like you are going through a lot just to run one(?) list. You might want to check us out at http://emwd.com/mailman.html. We are one hosting company that is willing to answer your questions regarding the use of mailman without asking you to pay more.
