 I take a different approach:

 - I create <list> just the way I want it named  (for example: test)

 - Sendmail's virtusertable does the following translation:
    test at lists.domain.net             test-lists.domain.net
    test-admin at lists.domain.net       test-admin-lists.domain.net
    test-request at lists.domain.net     test-request-lists.domain.net
    test-owner at lists.domain.net       test-admin-lists.domain.net

 - The Alias file takes care of the rest (lines wrapped):
    ## test at lists.domain.net mailing list
    ## created: 13-Dec-2000 root
    test-lists.domain.net:         \
         "|/home/mailman/lists.domain.net/mail/wrapper post test"
    test-admin-lists.domain.net:   \
         "|/home/mailman/lists.domain.net/mail/wrapper mailowner test"
    test-request-lists.domain.net: \
         "|/home/mailman/lists.domain.net/mail/wrapper mailcmd test"


 This allows me to have multiple 'test' lists across multiple domains, on the
same machine, all behaving as separate lists.  (This also means I have multiple
MM installations.)
