I assume you mean www.pharmacy.pitt.edu/mailman/somelist

It seems you haven't put

add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

in mm_cfg.py following the definitions of DEFAULT_URL_HOST and
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST.

in mm_cfg.py you should have:

DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'pharmacy.pitt.edu'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'www.pharmacy.pitt.edu'
VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

The VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear() isn't absolutely necessary, but it removes
the presumably erroneous entry added in Defaults.py.

See http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.029.htp

You should not have any entries in mm_cfg.py for
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN
DEFAULT_HOST_NAME
DEFAULT_URL
