Adding things to mm_cfg.py/Defaults.py that aren't in Defaults.py to
begin with can have no effect, since if they weren't there, nothing
references them. Also, don't change Defaults.py; see
<http://wiki.list.org/x/fIA9>.

FYI, USE_CRYPT was a Mailman 2.0 setting and in any case applied only
to site, list admin and moderator passwords, not user passwords.

Since you moved the installation, check the Received: headers in the
password reminder email and see where it came from. Also, check the
DNS entries for the host in the options link to see where it goes to.
