[Mailman-Users] Administrative requests page for migrated lists uses wrong old server fqdn for data submission

My mailing lists were migrated from a machine running Mac OS X Server 10.6 (Snow Leopard) [let's refer to it by the fdqn old-server.domain.com], where mailman was supplied and supported out of the box. The destination was an OS X Server 10.11 (El Capitan) system running Server 5.2 [let's refer to it by the fdqn new-server.domain.com], which required the manual installation of mailman from source.

I copied the requisite directories archives, data, lists and qfiles from /var/mailman/ to /usr/local/mailman/. I then ran

	/usr/local/mailman/bin/check_perms -f

which made sure that these were given the proper permissions for the new system.

Let's say my mailing list is named "family." I can now bring up

	https://new-server.domain.com/mailman/admin/family

I can change all settings to my heart's content, and they all take. However, when I try to "Tend to pending moderator requests" and click on the Submit All Data button on

	https://new-server.domain.com/mailman/admindb/family

it directs me to

	http://old-server.domain.com/mailman/admindb/family

which has been decommissioned.

When editing the list settings, there were references to "old-server.domain.com" in the host_name field on the General Options page, and I changed that to "new-server.domain.com".

What do I need to fix, in order for the button submission to go through properly?
