You need to add

add_virtualhost('myotherdomain.org', 'myotherdomain.org')

to mm_cfg.py and add the domain to POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS as in

POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['mail.mydomain.org', 'myotherdomain.org']

This assumes the web domain is the same myotherdomain.org as the email
domain. If not, the only difference is add_virtualhost is

add_virtualhost('myotherwebdomain.org', 'myotherdomain.org')

After adding 'myotherdomain.org' to POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS, run
bin/genaliases to update data/virtual-mailman*

Also not that the notation

/usr/local/mailman/bin/newlist name-of-the-list at myotherdomain.org

is deprecated and doesn't do the intuitive thing (but does the right
thing if the web domain and email domain are the same). See

/usr/local/mailman/bin/newlist --help
