Nope, that wasn't it. host_name was set to mydomain.tld, as per the
mm_cfg.py below.

I didn't have these two lines:

VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

but adding them and restarting apache and mailman, deleting and
recreating the list didn't resolve the original error.

You mentioned you'd need more info -- what else do you need?

Many thanks.
