Run bin/newlist -h and get the following explanation of why you did not 
get what you wanted:

You can specify the domain to create your new list in by spelling the 
listname
like so:

     mylist at www.mydom.ain

where `www.mydom.ain' should be the base hostname for the URL to this 
virtual
hosts's lists.  E.g. with is setting people will view the general list
overviews at http://www.mydom.ain/mailman/listinfo.  Also, www.mydom.ain
should be a key in the VIRTUAL_HOSTS mapping in mm_cfg.py/Defaults.py.  
It
will be looked up to give the email hostname.  If this can't be found, 
then
www.mydom.ain will be used for both the web interface and the email
interface
