I went to your listinfo overview page to see what Mailman version you
are using, and I see it is 2.1.5.
2.1.5 inverts the VIRTUAL_HOSTS dictionary, and looks up the lists
host_name attribute (email host) in the inverted dictionary to get the
corresponding web host. This is not done in current Mailman and is
subject to error if the VIRTUAL_HOSTS dictionary has duplicate values.
I suggest the problem is as follows:
Mailman was configured such that the Defaults.py settings for
DEFAULT_URL_HOST and DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST are both 'alliance.brown.edu',
and this entry is put in VIRTUAL_HOSTS by the
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) in Defaults.py
mm_cfg.py contains
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'lists.alliance.brown.edu'
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'alliance.brown.edu'
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)
This results in a VIRTUAL_HOSTS dictionary =
{'lists.alliance.brown.edu': 'alliance.brown.edu',
'alliance.brown.edu': 'alliance.brown.edu'}
which, since dictionaries can't have duplicate keys, gets inverted to
{'alliance.brown.edu': 'alliance.brown.edu'}
If I am correct, the solution to this problem is to add
VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()
to mm_cfg.py preceeding the add_virtualhost() as
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'lists.alliance.brown.edu'
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'alliance.brown.edu'
VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)
