Hi Mick,
Dan...and I'd sent this to you privately to try to clarify off-list, but I guess my desires are secondary to yours. Oh well, so be it.

I take it I didn't make myself perfectly clear.  I understand that this
is issued per user (thus the name personalization).  At the bottom of my
lists mails it reads (using user_optionsurl)
http://jo.birdsense.com/mailman/options/[listname]/mburton%40jo.birdsens
e.com - this is my mail systems address (jo.birdsense.com).

What I would expect is
http://www.birdsense.com/mailman/options/[listname]/mburton%40jo.birdsen
se.com which is my web server's address.  Note the www instead of jo in
the address.

This is what is shown at the bottom of the mailman-users list mails -
http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/mburton%40jo.birdse
nse.com.  Again I would suspect that it might want to read
www.python.org instead of mail.python.org, although I am not sure of
this one as I am not the admin for that system and really don't know how
they have it setup and configured.

Am I completely missing something here?  Are my expectations that it
would use the web server's address unreasonable?
No, you're not being unreasonable; you just asked a question I couldn't understand.

So you mean "the hyperlink for the user options has a hostname which is apparently wrong; it looks like it's the hostname of the mail address rather than the hostname of the web server". It is, of course, a coincidence; if you used [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s options, the link would not be
http://sun.com/...., but rather http://jo.birdsense.com/..., of course.
So no, it's not the domain of the email address at all.

Your question is really "why do the hyperlinks in my user-options links use the wrong hostname".

The problem is likely in your DEFAULT_ settings in mm_cfg.py (or Defaults.py). See the comments in Defaults.py around DEFAULT_URL_HOST
(assuming you're using 2.1 latest or near to it).


Thanks,
Mike
