I wasn't talking about the list configuratioin. I was taking about the
mailman-admin address which is shown incorrectly when you go to
http://listserver/mailman/listinfo.

Basically we have a server known as "foo.domain" but it is also known
as just "domain" for mail puposes and since DEFAULT_HOST_NAME =
'domain' in mm_cfg.py all lists are configured properly. However if
you go to http://listserver/mailman/listinfo it says "Send questions
or comments to mailman-owner at foo" which is not what we want (it does
not show even the domain part). It seems that to get that URL to be
generated correctly you have to edit Default.py.
