I didn't know that. I had read the following:
# The "host_name" is the preferred name for email to mailman-related
# addresses on this host, and generally should be the mail host's
# exchanger address, if any. This setting can be useful for selecting

host_name = 'ce.berkeley.edu'
so I was expecting this to be used when only a local part appears.

Our list members don't use Mailman's web interface. All our lists are
created by administrative staff. Could a list administrator also
change an address globally?
