Why don't you just edit mm_cfg.py to contain the hostname that you want?
It's easy... here's the relevant part of mine:

=====

###############################################
# Here's where we get the distributed defaults.

from Defaults import *

##################################################
# Put YOUR site-specific settings below this line.

MAILMAN_URL = 'http://www.list.org/'

# Site-specific settings
DEFAULT_HOST_NAME   = 'coxcentral.com'
# DEFAULT_URL must end in a slash!
DEFAULT_URL         = 'http://lists.coxcentral.com/mailman/'
PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL  = '/archives'

MAILMAN_OWNER     = 'mailman-owner@%s' % DEFAULT_HOST_NAME

=====

Note that you have to have MAILMAN_OWNER in there (even though it looks
the same as the default) because you're changing the DEFAULT_HOST_NAME.
