Yes, that text is misleading, but help text for the list's host_name
attribute on the General Options page is more clear.
Also, I wouldn't say the two hosts are "normally" the same. In the
simplest case, host_name comes from DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST and the
web_page_url host comes from DEFAULT_URL_HOST and these are often
different even if only in that DEFAULT_URL_HOST is prefixed with www.

That's why every list has a web host (the host part of web_page_url)
and an email host (host_name).

It does.

Yes.
