It appears that the underlying problem is an incorrect value for
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST either in Defaults.py or in the override in
mm.cfg.py. From your explaination, it seems that it is vuw.ac.xxxx and
should be mailman.vuw.ac.xxxx

You can fix it for the ssk list by going to the lists General Options
page and setting "Host name this list prefers for email." to
mailman.vuw.ac.xxxx, but you should fix DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST in
mm_cfg.py so this doesn't happen with every new list.
