Right. But when would you use a www.domain? I never use www. Do people name their box www? I usually name the host something else. I think most people are smart enough to figure out that list_name@domain is not list_name@www.domain. You face the exact same problem of people doing the same things with two different parameters; i.e., bin/create list_name www.domain etc...
Whatever, its not a big deal, as long as the create script still works with the old syntax (which was my original point).
Actually, when you create a list via the web, the host name of the web create URL is hostname in
mlist.web_page_url = mm_cfg.DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN % hostname
and id is looked up in VIRTUAL_HOSTS to get emailhost for
mlist.host_name = emailhost
Likewise, in
bin/newlist listname@hostname
Thus, for bin/newlist listname@hostname is likely not the e-mail address of the list. Or, if listname@hostname is the intended e-mail posting address of the list,
bin/newlist listname@hostname
is probably not the way you want to create it, at least in any installation where VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW has the default "true" value.

If your list machine isn't the same box as the webserver machine, then the web-based create isn't going to work. :-) I still think it makes sense.
Good point -- I'd forgotten we were still talking about web based creation. I was making man pages for the stuff in bin/ earlier this month, and the name@www.domain syntax is the same even when you're working from the shell, and that's where I don't think it necessarily makes sense.
