These will affect list attributes at list creation time but not
subsequently. You can run fix_url to fix the list but in this case,
that isn't necessary. In this case, all you need to do is go the the
list admin General Options page and change "Host name this list
prefers for email." (host_name) from dap002.bellsouth.net to
home.bellsouth.net.
