Hmm I guess I still don't get why "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is confusing, because that -is- the posting address of the list! If you want to add another field for domain, that's fine; but I think the current behaviour makes sense.
Also, as I stated before, the web-based create should take the hostname used as the domain name. It currently forces one domain.
