That probably means that the host whose name is the host_name attribute
of the new list is not in the mm_cfg.py POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS
list.

I need more information to tell you exactly how to fix this, but let me
give you an example of how this should be set up with two virtual
hosts with host1's web host = web.example.com and email host =
mail.example.com and host2's web host = web.example.net and email host
= mail.example.net and both mail.example.com and mail.example.net
being Postfix virtual domains and host1 being the one with the
majority of lists.

DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'mail.example.com'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'web.example.com'
# above could be the .net domains. It makes now difference other than
# these are the default domains for bin/newlist and some other things.
#
# Clear the Defaults.py VIRTUAL_HOSTS entry
VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()
#
# Add the defaults
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)
# and the other(s)
add_virtualhost('web.example.net', 'mail.example.net')
#
# Update virtual-mailman for lists in both domains
POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['mail.example.com', 'mail.example.net']

The other things you have in mm_cfg.py not specifically mentioned are
OK as is.
