With the above values for DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST and DEFAULT_URL_HOST you should be going to http://www.lava-net.com/mailman/create to create a list. If you really want your web host to be 'lava-net.com' then that's what you should have in mm_cfg.py for both DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST and DEFAULT_URL_HOST. Once you make this change, you need to run fix_url to fix the list. >One thing I forgot to >mention earlier...In Defaults.py, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST was set to Shadwiga >(that's the local hostname of this box). And I believe that DEFAULT_URL >was set to the local hostname as well. Is Mailman actually trying to >virtualize lava-net.com to the hostname or some dirivitive? This is all >occuring on Mailman-2.1.5. Thanks! When the values in Defaults.py for DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST and DEFAULT_URL_HOST are wrong, it is a good idea to clear the VIRTUAL_HOSTS dictionary in mm_cfg.py since the wrong values were added in Defaults.py and won't be removed unless you explicitly do so in mm_cfg.py. This is not absolutely necessary if those original defaults don't have the same value for DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST as one of the new ones, but it is a good idea.
