[I think this is a mailman-users issue - *please* can we try and get 
the list splits appropriate - mailman-developers is not just a means of 
getting more clued (or less low-clued) responses for a problem because 
you think its urgent]

It appears that Mailman only displays lists that match the URL prefix 
of your web server for mailman/listinfo whereas it displays all lists 
known to that installation no matter what the URL prefix for 
mailman/admin

For an example of this see the exim.org box which runs lists for both 
exim.org and wylug.org.uk
	http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/
		- lists defined within exim.org
	http://list.wylug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/
		- lists on wylug.org.uk
	http://www.exim.org/mailman/admin/
		- all lists on that machine

So I guess you need to go to the admin pages for your lists and modify 
the "Base URL for Mailman web interface. " at the bottom of the 
"General Options" page.

	Nigel.
