fix_url changes the lists web_page_url based on DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN and
the provided urlhost argument or DEFAULT_URL_HOST, and it changes the
lists host_name (email domain) to the email host corresponding to the
provided urlhost per the add_virtualhost() mapping or to
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST.

Why is this not what you want?

Yes, you can do this, and it will work.

config_list -o only outputs those settings which are visible in the
admin GUI.

config_list -i will set anything you give it, but if you give it a
setting that isn't in the GUI it gives the non-standard parameter
message, but it sets it anyway.
