This is strange.  Setting VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW works.  Running fix_url
doesn't.  Here's the output of withlist -l -r fix_url test-l -v

and it still doesn't show up in the web list of lists...

Here's the active part of my mm_cfg.py:

The linux "hostname" command returns the same name (xxx.yyy.org)

Is there some way to actually display the names that mailman thinks
are the host names and to dump the internal names within the lists?

Could this be a problem with SELINUX??
