This is an FAQ:

You will need to edit your ~mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py and enter the
proper url and mail hosts, and you will need to correct the existing
lists by going into their databases via the ~mailman/bin/withlist
command.

You can toggle one of the settings in mm_cfg.py (look in Defaults.py for
the exact syntax) and have it display all your lists regardless of the
base URL used.  The default is to only show the lists at the virtual
domain specified by URL used to view the web-pages.
