I'm guessing the specific error is the localhost part, not the -bounces
part since virtually all mail from mailman has an envelope sender of
some listname-bounces at some.domain. In this case the listname is
'mailman', i.e. the site list.

Go to the admin pages (General Options) for the mailman list and you'll
probably see host_name is localhost. Change it there and I think
you'll be OK.

You could also run 

bin/withlist -l -r fixurl mailman

Assuming your Defaults.py/mm_cfg.py values for DEFAULT_URL_HOST and
mm_cfg.DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST are 'good'.
