Summary: pass emailhost to mlist.Create
Initial Comment:
As bin/newlist has emailhost option, then make
mlist.Create call with lang and host_name parameters to
take care of it.

I see what you're saying, but if this is to be addressed, I think it
should be done in newlist itself, possibly as you suggest via a modified
MailList.CheckValues().
I don't think it should be done by passing host_name to MailList.Create()
because if that is done, the exception thrown by Create() is
Errors.BadListNameError and it is reported by newlist as 'Illegal list
name'. The problem here is if I specify say a listname of 'list' and an
unqualified email host name of 'host' to newlist, newlist reports 'Illegal
list name: [EMAIL PROTECTED]' which is confusing to the user who doesn't realize
that the problem is 'host' needs to be qualified.
In summary, I think this patch should remain closed and perhaps a new bug
should be opened for 'newlist doesn't validate urlhost and emailhost
arguments'.

Here's why I think the emailhost portion is still relevant, though not
very important. MailList.Create does:
postingaddr = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' % (name, emailhost)
try:
Utils.ValidateEmail(postingaddr)
except Errors.MMBadEmailError:
raise Errors.BadListNameError, postingaddr
Setting the emailhost after calling .Create() side-steps this check,
and it doesn't look like bin/newlist does anything like this check, nor
does it call MailList.CheckValues(). Perhaps the above check should be put
into .CheckValues(), and newlist changed to do mlist.CheckValues().

Nothing in this patch is currently relevant. The 'lang' part of it was
fixed in Mailman 2.1.10, and host_name and web_page_url have been set
appropriately by newlist since 2.1.6 although they are not passed to
mlist.Create but set after.

This patch is slightly out-of-date -- mlist.Create now takes a langs
parameter instead of
just 'lang' -- but adding the host_name is still relevant. mlist.Create
checks the validity of postingaddr based upon the emailhost, so setting it
after-the-fact is sidestepping that check.
I'll try to apply and test this patch, but won't do it not in time for
2.1.11.
