Well, the help for newlist (bin/newlist --help) is pretty clear that
the notation [EMAIL PROTECTED] is not the e-mail address of the list but
just a way of specifying the web domain.

You can specify the domain to create your new list in by spelling the
listname like so:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
where `www.mydom.ain' should be the base hostname for the URL to this
virtual hosts's lists.

Still, I think you have a point. Mailman/Cgi/create.py checks in the
case where VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW is on to see if the hostname is in
VIRTUAL_HOSTS.
if mm_cfg.VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW and \
not mm_cfg.VIRTUAL_HOSTS.has_key(hostname):
safehostname = Utils.websafe(hostname)
request_creation(doc, cgidata,
_('Unknown virtual host: %(safehostname)s'))
return
Perhaps bin/newlist should do something similar.
