The only form that will work is the list posting address which
presumably is listname at lists.domain.

Also, unless Mailman is configured to allow cross domain siblings,
'lists.domain' must be the same as the host_name attribute of the list
you are configuring (on its General Options page).

What is the url you use to visit say the listinfo page for listname? If
it is of the form http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo/listname,
then regular_exclude_lists should work. If, however, the URL is of the
form http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo/listname_www.example.com,
then you are dealing with some form of "true virtual hosting" patch
which has probably not been updated for the Sibling lists feature.

In any case, there will be messages in Mailman's error log of the form
'Exclude list %s not found.' or 'Exclude list %s is not in the same
domain.' to indicate what the problem is.
