Currently, the robot.conf file for this list contains the following:
wwsympa_url https://lists.domain.tld/sympa

I haven't tried to set this in the sympa.conf file due to the 
installation manual saying not to if I was going to be using virtual 
domains.

I've attached my httpd.conf and httpd-ssl.conf files to this reply. 
Hopefully, they're available. Otherwise, I'll paste them somewhere.
