It is not my domain, so I replace it with my own. It comes from the add_virtualhost() entry for the domain. There should be an add_virtualhost('web_domain', 'email_domain') line in mm_cfg.py.

[Mailman-Users] Can't change host name preference
Hello, I am trying to set up Mailman on a new domain. I have done it in the past without issue, but now I have a really bizzare problem. When I go to the "MYLIST mailing list administration General Options Section" page, I notice the following entry preloaded in the "Host name this list prefers for email" field... syd.xobas.net I have NO IDEA where this is coming from. It is not my domain, so I replace it with my own. However, when I click the "Submit your changes" button, it goes to an invalid page. When I try again, I notice that when I hover over the button, the URL that it translates to incorporates that "syd.xobas.net" domain into the URL. I looked all over my server (a vps running CentOS 5) for where that entry might be coming from. I did find an occurance of it in /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/MYLIST/index.html and /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/mailman/index.html But I don't know how it got there. Where is the proper place to replace that domain with my own?
