I'm confused. If you want a single web domain and a single email domain,
this is the usual configuration. Just set the following in mm_cfg.py

DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'lists.domain.com'
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'domain.com'
VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

Then run Mailman's

bin/withlist -a -r fix_url

To update the lists' web_page_url and host_name. See the FAQs at
<http://wiki.list.org/x/mIA9> and <http://wiki.list.org/x/gIA9>.

Do you mean that you will have multiple domains of the form
lists.domain.com for web access and domain.com for email.

If so, you will need to put additional

add_virtualhost('lists.otherdomain1.com', 'otherdomain1.com')
add_virtualhost('lists.otherdomain2.com', 'otherdomain2.com')

lines following the

add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

line in mm_cfg.py and run commands like

bin/withlist -r fix_url list1 -u lists.otherdomain1.com

for each list with the appropriate -u web_host option for the list.

In any case, aliases use only the list name and probably don't need to
be changed, but if some of these domains are non-local, you may need
virtual mappings.

In order to advise you further, I would need to know more about your MTA
configuration and how it delivers to Mailman. Your mention of
lists.domain.com makes me think you might be using a debian/ubuntu
package. If so, and if you are using postfix_to_mailman.py, see the FAQ
at <http://wiki.list.org/x/EYDt>.
