Actually, when you create a list via the web, the host name of the web
create URL is hostname in

   mlist.web_page_url = mm_cfg.DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN % hostname

and id is looked up in VIRTUAL_HOSTS to get emailhost for

   mlist.host_name = emailhost


Likewise, in

  bin/newlist [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thus, for bin/newlist [EMAIL PROTECTED] is likely not the e-mail
address of the list. Or, if [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the intended e-mail
posting address of the list,

  bin/newlist [EMAIL PROTECTED]

is probably not the way you want to create it, at least in any
installation where VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW has the default "true" value.
