   'While it is perfectly acceptable for a List Identifier to be
    completely independent of the domain name of the host machine
    servicing the mailing list, the owner of a mailing list MUST NOT
    generate List Identifiers in any domain name space for which they do
    not have authority.  For example, a mailing list hosting service may
    choose to assign List Identifiers in their own domain-based name
    space, or they may allow their clients (the list owners) to provide
    List Identifiers in a namespace for which the owner has authority.'

The List-ID: is not tied to the server host name.  To avoid migration 
pain, pick a domain name carefully.
