I am trying to creat a header for all emails going through my mail list but the instructions say to add the following to my rc.local.s20 file but I have no idea what file it is refering to. I do not have a file named that. do I create one or is it a part of my rc.submit file that I need to modify. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

2.10: How can I add a short message file to the top or the bottom of all the mailing list messages? Uncomment the line "RC_LOCAL_SUBMIT_20 = rc.local.s20" from your rc.custom file, and add the following to your rc.local.s20 file:
# # Adding a disclaimer in front of every mail: #
:0 fhw | cat - header.txt
# # Appending a footer to every outgoing mail: #
:0 fbw | cat - footer.txt
You will also need to create a file called header.txt or one called footer.txt, which contains the text to add to the message (this file can be empty though, so you can create the files, but only fill them in when you need to add something)

Yes, you create the file and add the contents mentioned below. The file must be located in the same directory as the rc.custom file.
Don't forget to uncomment "RC_LOCAL_SUBMIT_20 = rc.local.s20" in the rc.custom file. :)
One more thing, if you are not working on the server itself, use a palin text editor to create and edit SmartList files.

The rc.local.s20 file should be created in the list directory - i.e. the same one where rc.custom is already.
