If this is Mailman doing this - e.g. you have selected
reply_goes_to_list = This list - you can fix it by scrolling down to
near the bottom of the admin General Options page and setting

Host name this list prefers for email.
(Details for host_name)

to lists.jcvi.org

I suspect the underlying issue is you have something like

add_virtualhost('lists.jcvi.org')

in mm_cfg.py. If you look at the definition of add_virtualhost() in
Defaults.py, you'll see that this is equivalent to

add_virtualhost('lists.jcvi.org', 'jcvi.org')

and you want

add_virtualhost('lists.jcvi.org', 'lists.jcvi.org')

or maybe

DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'lists.jcvi.org'
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'lists.jcvi.org'
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

You can make those changes and then run fix_url to fix all existing
lists.

If the above is not the answer, see the FAQ at
<http://wiki.list.org/x/uYA9>.
