for the dummy robot, can the host and http_host parameters be for a non-existant domain?

We had some problems with that, having a few messages from sympa@null
sent.
Therefore we use 'listes.cru.fr' whereas the Virtual Robot is 'cru.fr'
(no message should be sent to address@concealed or
address@concealed).

couple of lists from the default robot to a new robot.

Sorry I meant the opposite : we use solution (1) :)
