Ok.. after some twiddling, I came up with this configuration:
mm_cfg.py:
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = '
http://localhost:8080/%s/mailman/
'
add_virtualhost('localhost','lists.foo.com')

I also had to add
lists.foo.com/pipermail
lists.foo.com/mailman
as aliases to http.conf

The virtualhost allows me to create [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists using the
localhost-ssh-tunnel.

That seems to work on first look. Anyone already sees some problems I may
face soon?

It changes the URLs on the pages to match the current config.

This isn't exactly right, but you've got the general idea.

Hm.. what exactly does the fix_url script do? Changing the URLs on the
interface as I want?
Am I right that setting the DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN to something like "
http://localhost:8080/mailman"; will work for me, as long people always
forward port 8080?

Yes, router level would be nicer, but it should work from any computer
and any network - as long as you have ssh access.

Another option might be to use a console-mode web browser, such as
elinks. The Mailman pages are pretty simple in their construction, and
so elinks should be more than adequate for whatever you need to do.

You could probably use fix_url.py to change it. But anyway, wouldn't it be 
better for you to set up a VPN connection to that machine? I do that on a 
router level and then once I am in, I can use administrative interface on 
the LAN.

[Mailman-Users] Using Mailman over SSH-Tunnel

[Dark Servant]

Hi,

I setup mailman to manage lists at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The mailinglists works, but the admininterface gives me a headache.

The Webserver is not accessible from the outsite, so I have to use a
SSH-Tunnel like
ssh -L 8080:localhost:80 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Going to, for example,
http://localhost:8080/mailman/private/mailman/listinfo/knownlist, shows me
the listinformation for a known list - so far so good.
But all links on this page are absolut. The don't use localhost:8080 as
base, they all link to http://lists.foo.com/...

This is a big problem, as lists.foo.com is not accessible - the frontend is
not usable for me.

Can the scripts be configured, not to use this absolute URLs?
