What FAQ? The Mailman FAQs I know (<http://www.list.org/faq.html> and
<http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3%22>) don't have a '1-3' relating to virtual
domain hosting.

It appears that you are adopting a convention, perhaps enforced by list
creation, that list names are of the form LISTNAME_HOSTNAME and are using
aliases to direct mail addressed to LISTNAME at HOSTNAME and
LISTNAME-etc at HOSTNAME to the proper list.

The short answer to your question is to find the places in the code where
these addresses are generated and change them to strip the _HOSTNAME part.
This may or may not be as simple as modifying just the getListAddress()
method in Mailman/MailList.py.
