The host portion of those URLs comes from the get_domain() function in
Mailman/Utils.py which gets it from the environment passed by Apache
to the CGI. It uses HTTP_HOST if present or SERVER_NAME if no
HTTP_HOST.

If you set VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW = No in mm_cfg.py, it will use
DEFAULT_URL_HOST instead which is probably what you want.

I think you can also get Apache to provide the name you want with the
ServerName and UseCanonicalName directives in httpd.conf, but setting
VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW = No  is probably preferable in your case.
