You've got the :8122 in too many places for one thing. If it's in
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN as you have it, then you don't want it elsewhere.

I suggest the following for the relevant part of mm_cfg.py:

DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'nebraskaultimate.com'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'www.nebraskaultimate.com'
VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()
add_virtualhost('www.nebraskaultimate.com', 'nebraskaultimate.com')
add_virtualhost('www.atomicxterra.com', 'atomicxterra.com')
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s:8122/mailman/'

The VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear() entry removes what was put there by the
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) that's in
Defaults.py. This isn't strictly necessary but it insures you have no
spurious entries in your VIRTUAL_HOSTS dictionary.

After fixing this and restarting Mailman, you'll need to run fix_url on
the existing lists. I think that will do it.
