That's an annoyance IMO. For example at our site the posting address
for all lists is supposed to be <list-name>@ocf.berkeley.edu

However, the web server address for the same site is
www.ocf.berkeley.edu. If I change prefered host to
www.ocf.berkeley.edu then mailman suggests on the listinfo web page
for that list that "To post a message to all the list members, send
email to mmtest at www.OCF.Berkeley.EDU". I certaintly, don't want anyone
to use the www name in the mailing lists. Moreover, I changed the
prefered host address fro www.OCF.Berkeley.EDU for one of the lists
and it still does not show up on the /mailman/listinfo web page.
