I may have answered my own questions below. (**One quick newbie question
though: If I continue looking for the Mailman program, what directory
should it be in and what are some names I can run a recursive "find"
command on?** )
I see from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mailman that Mailman files
should be in:
"It copies the installation files in /var/lib/mailman. It installs the
cgi scripts in /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman directory."
Nope -- not in either place on eightmile.dreamhost.com
When I go all the way to the top level of the server, and run <find .
-name "*mailman*"> I am of course restricted from most directories. I
can however see:
./usr/share/bash-completion/completions/mailmanctl
./usr/libexec/check_mailman
./var/chef/cache/cookbooks/ndn-postfix/recipes/mailman-internal.rb
./var/chef/cache/cookbooks/ndn-postfix/recipes/mailman.rb
./var/chef/cache/cookbooks/ndn-postfix/templates/default/main-mailman.cf.erb
./var/chef/cache/cookbooks/ndn-postfix/templates/default/main-mailman-internal.cf.erb
None of these look very promising. I am denied read/write/execute
access to everything under ./var/chef/cache/cookbooks/ndn-postfix/
The file "./usr/libexec/check_mailman" refers to code in
"/usr/local/dh/mailman". This file does not seem to exist and the
directory is not writable to me.
So, again, looking like I have to go to Dream Host for support whether
or not the Mailman system is on a separate server or accessible through
eightmile.dreamhost.com . I think.

Hmmm... This looks vaguely possible...
The frustrating thing is I'll have to spend some hours on figuring
this out -- which means I have to come back to it later.
I have now created an SSH user and can log onto my shared hosting
server (eightmile.dreamhost.com).
I also see -- in the cpanel -- the ability to create cron jobs on that
same shared hosting server. (Or -- I can do a "crontab -e" command to
create it when logged into the server.)
BUT... I'm told the Mailman server is a separate server. When I try
to ssh onto "lists.clinicians-exchange.org" its denied because
apparently there is a public/private key login I'm not privy to.
On my account at eightmile.dreamhost.com I do see a
"lists.clinicians-exchange.org" folder -- but all that's in it is a
.tar.gz file backup. On this server when I look under /etc I don't
see a mailman program. Same with /var directory. Even so, root owns
these files and directories so I don't think I could change anything
in them.
So... I suspect Dream Host would have to do this for me.

Ugh. Dream Host does not give me cron job / command line access.
I'll try begging them to do this, but more likely I'll have to
manually release the Digest each week.
It is unlikely they will let you do this as it would affect all
lists on the server, not just yours.
Google says dreamhost does let you create your own cron jobs, you
just can't get to the "system" ones. You could probably make one that
does what Mark described with curl or something: POST the config
change to the admin page, POST the change-back a minute later.
It'd be even easier if `senddigest` had a command line argument like
"--force", but alas.
