Everything can be patched, but mailman 2.0 doesn't handle virtual domains
too well.
mailman 2.1 is better in that respect, although you may still have to patch
it a bit to do what you want (check first)

Because people don't use mailman that way (eh, you must be used to me saying
this by now).
1) Mailman was meant to be used primarily over the web, so you can get the
list of lists there
2) You are usually pointed to a list and start with that one
3) Do you Email majordomo@randomhosts and ask for the list of lists?
I don't...
4) most mailman 2.1 install will have a mailman master list, so you'll be
able to Email mailman-request
