kreme.com _IS_ a fqdn.  Or are we talking about a setting somwhere  
else?  I do have several lists up and running, but they were all  
created years ago and have been pretty much left alone. If I trey to  
create a list via the web interface I get a different error:

Error: Unknown virtual host: mailman.covisp.net

So I need to create the listname aliases before the list is created?

I which domain part?  My mm_cfg.py is very simple:

###############################################
# Here's where we get the distributed defaults.

from Defaults import *

##################################################
# Put YOUR site-specific settings below this line.

VERP_CONFIRMATIONS = Yes
VERP_PASSWORD_REMINDERS = Yes
VERP_PERSONALIZED_DELIVERIES = Yes
VERP_DELIVERY_INTERVAL = 1

ADMINDB_PAGE_TEXT_LIMIT = 4096
OWNERS_CAN_DELETE_THEIR_OWN_LISTS = Yes
HOLD_MESSAGES_AS_PICKLES = No
