Summary: list creation ignores DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST

Initial Comment:
If I set DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST in mm_cfg.py, its value is 
ignored when creating a new list.  It's pretty easy to see 
why: MailList.InitVars uses DEFAULT_HOST_NAME.  But 
the two are only equal as long as mm_cfg.py is not used.

If DEFAULT_HOST_NAME and DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST 
are really supposed to be the same, perhaps 
DEFAULT_HOST_NAME should not be set in Defaults.py -- 
rather, any code that looks at DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST 
should check to see if DEFAULT_HOST_NAME happens to 
be defined in mm_cfg, and use it if so.  Or something like 
that.

I'm happy to supply a patch if someone agrees that this is a 
bug.
