What is DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST, either in Defaults.py or overridden in
mm_cfg.py. If it is 'postfix', that is your answer. It must be a fully
qualified domain name.

If that isn't it, what is the exact newlist command or are you using
the GUI, and what is in Defaults.py for DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST and
DEFAULT_URL_HOST, and what is in mm_cfg.py for these and any
add_virtualhost() directives?

If DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST isn't 'postfix', you probably have

add_virtualhost('ns2.greenbuilder.com', 'postfix')
