Probably the easiest way is to find the following lines in
Mailman/Gui/General.py and remove or comment them out.


~            ('host_name', mm_cfg.Host, WIDTH, 0,
~             _('Host name this list prefers for email.'),

~             _("""The "host_name" is the preferred name for email to
~             mailman-related addresses on this host, and generally
should be
~             the mail host's exchanger address, if any.  This setting
can be
~             useful for selecting among alternative names of a host
that has
~             multiple addresses.""")),


This will remove the setting from the General Options page.
