Please keep threads on the list unless there is necessary, private
information in the post

It seems you have Mailman-Postfix integration configured, so list
aliases are in Mailman's data/aliases(.db) files.

When you want to show someone your Postfix config, give them the output
of 'postconf -n'.

I hope this last line is actually in mm_cfg.py.

So what happens if you just create a list normally and then in it's web
UI, set it's General Options -> host_name to different1.org?

I think all should be fine. If not, please post 'postconf -n' and
details about what is not working with the list.
