Hi folks,

Aside from the Apache problem, I can't seem to get Mailman to create a
list.  This is on Cygwin.

I give the command:

 $ newlist friends
 Enter the email of the person running the list: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Initial friends password:
 Create a new, unpopulated mailing list.
 Usage: /usr/local/mailman/bin/newlist [options] [listname
[listadmin-addr [admin- password]]]
 Options: (...a whole bunch of explanation...)
 Illegal list name: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Now, "LittleGuy" is just the name of my local host; it's not the
fully-qualified domain.  I don't know why Mailman is trying to use it,
but I figured that I could force it otherwise:

 $ newlist --urlhost=ahualoa.net --emailhost=ahualoa.net
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Enter the email of the person running the list: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Initial friends password:
 (....)
 Illegal list name: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This doesn't make any sense at all.  I'm telling Mailman very explicitly
which domain to create the list on.  Why is Mailman still trying to use
my local hostname?

Thanks,
Ben
