With the above settings, virtual-mailman* will not be created until
there is at least one list in domain1.org or domain2.org

You also need

add_virtualhost('webdomain1.org', 'domain1.org')
add_virtualhost('webdomain2.org', 'domain2.org')

in order to create lists in those domains. If one of these sets is
DEFAULT_URL_HOST and DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST from Defaults.py, then you
don't need to repeat it. OTOH, if the Defaults.py settings for
DEFAULT_URL_HOST and DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST are not correct, then in
mm_cfg.py you need

DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'www.example.com'
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'example.com'
VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

followed by add_virtualhost() for the remaining hosts. See
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.062.htp>.
