Are you accessing the create page via a URL with host name
'www.mydom.mycountry'?

Note that it is best to clear the Defaults.py settings from
VIRTUAL_HOSTS by putting

VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()

in mm_cfg.py preceeding the

add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

line, but if you are accessing the web create page via a URL with host
name 'www.mydom.mycountry', you should get the list's host_name set to
'mail.mydom.mycountry' with the above settings.
