I've looked more deeply and found it is a bug in pre-Mailman 2.1.6
bin/newlist. That address is created as [EMAIL PROTECTED] where x comes from the
Defaults.py/mm_cfg.py setting MAILMAN_SITE_LIST, y should be 'owner'
but pre-2.1.6 is 'admin', and z is the list's host_name attribute.

Fixing the VIRTUAL_HOSTS dictionary and DEFAULT_*_HOST in mm_cfg.py
will take care of the host_name for new lists.

If you can live with the mailman-admin address in the notice, that's
fine, but note that if you actually mail to that address, it will only
get to the 'mailman' list owner if unrecognized bounce forwarding is
on and will be forwarded as an unrecognized bounce.

If you want to fix this in pre-2.1.6, find the line

        siteadmin = Utils.get_site_email(mlist.host_name, 'admin')

and change it to

        siteadmin = Utils.get_site_email(mlist.host_name, 'owner')

in both bin/newlist and Mailman/Cgi/create.py.
