That didn't work for me. I had to go in with "withlist" and manually set the
web_page_url for each list that I moved.

I created a bunch of lists under the domain 'mailman.stonetics.com', since I
had to create them before switching the A-record for
'lists.sudburysavoyards.org' over to the mailman server. I set the host_name
for each of these lists to 'lists.sudburysavoyards.org' on their admin
pages, then added these entries to my mm_cfg.py file, then ran fix_url, but
nothing happened:

add_virtualhost('lists.sb.org', 'lists.sb.org')
add_virtualhost('lists.sudburysavoyards.org', 'lists.sudburysavoyards.org')

They were still showing up on the web at 'mailman.stonetics.com'. Using
withlist manually fixed it, though.

I also noticed that the output file created by config_list has lots of
spurious line breaks about 2/3 of the way through. It looks unparsable.
