This can cause confusion about Mailman's add_virtualhost() stuff, but I
don't think that is the issue here. See
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.062.htp>
and other FAQs it points to for a discussion of these issues, but
that's not your immediate problem.

The visible list attribute host_name is the domain that mailman uses
for all list email addresses.

The inconsistency between Mailman mail and other mail is puzzling. Do
both paths send through the same initial MTA?

In any case, if the list's host_name is correct, I don't think it's
Mailman.
