The http://hostname.domain.com/mailman/ part of that comes from a
hidden list attribute named web_page_url. To change this, you can run

  bin/withlist -l -r fix_url listname -u domain.com

See
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?query=web_page_url&querytype=simple&casefold=yes&req=search>
for more details.
