Package: mailman
Version: 1:2.1.11-11+lenny1
Severity: normal

When installing the "mailman" package I am told to run "newlist mailman" 
to create a needed list. This however fails with:
Illegal list name: mailman at localhost

I also tried running with:
newlist --urlhost=mydomain --emailhost=mydomain mailman at mydomain
but the end result is always the above mentioned error.
