If the above are actually required - i.e., if they are different from
what's in Defaults.py - then you also need

VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

following the above.

Then you also need

add_virtualhost('webdomain', 'emaildomain')

for each other web domain you support.

This is telling you that lists.risd.edu (the host in the URL that you
went to for the create page) is not a key in the VIRTUAL_HOSTS
dictionary - i.e. it is not the first argument to some
add_virtualhost().
