Then use add_virtualhost(URL_HOST, 'newdomain.com')

Yes and no. What about the URL_HOST?
Should your list server present this list as 
http://www.ourdomain.com/lists/user-discuss or like 
http://www.newdomain.com/lists/user-discuss?

In the first case use
   add_virtualhost('www.ourdomain.com', 'newdomain.com')
otherwise use
   add_virtualhost('www.newdomain.com', 'newdomain.com')
and setup a vhost for www.newdomain.com on the web server of your lists 
host.

In both cases your MTA on the lists machine should treat newdomain.com 
as virtual domain.
