$prefix/Mailman/Defaults.py says:

<quote>
# Helper function; use this in your mm_cfg.py files.  If optional 
emailhost is
# omitted it defaults to urlhost with the first name stripped off, e.g.
#
# add_virtualhost('www.dom.ain')
# VIRTUAL_HOST['www.dom.ain']
# ==> 'dom.ain'
#
def add_virtualhost(urlhost, emailhost=None):
     DOT = '.'
     if emailhost is None:
         emailhost = DOT.join(urlhost.split(DOT)[1:])
     VIRTUAL_HOSTS[urlhost.lower()] = emailhost.lower()
</quote>

so you may want to say:

add_virtualhost('lists.example.com', 'lists.example.com')
