Yes, but I don't have a VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear().

No.
I can't use any of the admin task, such as list creation.

The actual generated HTML is ok.
The link is correct.
It is only the browser that seems to add that URL fragment.

Here is an example using httplib (sorry, but the language is italian):

>>> import httplib
>>> con = httplib.HTTPConnection('lists.python.mydebian')
>>> con.request('GET', '/mailman/listinfo')
>>> r = con.getresponse()
>>> print r.status, r.reason
200 OK
>>> print r.msg

As one can see, the link to /mailman/admin is correct.

But the browser sees the link as
http://lists.python.mydebian/lists.python.mydebian/mailman/admin

I really can't understand!
This seems to have nothing to do with Mailman or Apache

The links where correct.
As I can remember I had a:
POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS  = []

in mm_cfg.py

But now, even if I try to change some options, the result don't change...

debian precompiled package
  aptitude install mailman
