[Mailman-Users] Error: Unknown virtual host on create list

Yes. Actually, the canonical hostname / mail hostname pair is added in
the vhost db in Defaults.py if you have properly configured during
installation. Check your DEFAULT_{EMAIL|URL}_HOST in Defaults.py.

Yeah, I have just added this in Mailman FAQ.
