%(host_name)s is exactly that.

If you want to make a url, you would need something like

http://%(host_name)s/mailman/listinfo/listname

or

http://%(host_name)s/mailman/options/listname/%(user)s

although if that's what you're trying to do, your Mailman and/or your
list is not properly configured.

If you have the appropriate add_virtualhost() directives in mm_cfg.py
for this host and you have run fix_url if necessary to give the list
the correct web_page_url attribute, you should get the URL's you want
from the default template.
