The short answer is DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST must be a fully qualified doman
name.

The underlying issue is the MailList.Create() method as called by
bin/newlist validates the list name by checking that
LISTNAME at DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST is a valid email address. This check in
turn requires at least one dot '.' in the domain part.
