Nono. You set up mailman.theirdomain.com or lists.theirdomain.com and point *it* at your server. You don't host anything but lists, all the lists then have addresses that are mylist@lists.theirdomain.com and if they want to alias mylist@theirdomain.com, then that's their job and none of your business.
And this still does not solve the original problem I was trying to solve.
The listname is somelist@vanity.com. Creating somelist@lists.vanity.com or somelist@mailman.vanity.com does not solve the original problem. You could go through all the effort of creating this host/domain, and you're still stuck with the problem that the listaddr is not the same as the admin url.
The truth is that I have only rarely witnessed a situation where the listaddr and the hostaddr are the same, except when people are running lists from their own personal computers. That's why I questioned the value the original option.
But anyhow, you seem to have a good idea of what you'd like, and you've clearly got the ability to make the patch if you're handling this stuff right now. Would you be willing to write it? All it takes now is a patch that's good enough for commiting, and you should be able to have what you want.
I'd appreciate anything you could do on this. I want something agreeable and maintained in future versions, including 3.0
