In that case, per the FAQ entry 4.029 that I cited, you might want to 
say in $prefix/mm_cfg.py:

DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'foo-domain.com'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'foo-domain.com'
VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)
add_virtualhost('bar-domain.com', 'bar-domain.com')

and use fix_url to set the foo-domain.com lists to use foo-domain.com 
and bar-domain.com lists to use bar-domain.com. Then the generated URLs 
associated with each list will include the correct virtual host. Also 
visiting http://<domain>/mailman/listinfo will list only those lists 
associated with <domain> if you set VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW = On 
(actually the default) in mm_cfg.py

Run $bin/fix_url.py with --help to get instructions on its use.

Unbfortunately Mailman doesn't work that way but if you set up the 
virtual hosts you may be able to achieve some of what you want.
