The link to a list on the page generated by £prefix/Mailman/Cgi/listinfo.py is determined by each list's web_page_url attribute. The value of this attribute is normally set when the list is created and is based to DEFAULT_URL or DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN combined with DEFAULT_URL_HOST or DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN values at that time. Another list attribute set at the same time is it's host_name attribute which is set to DEFAULT_HOST_NAME (or DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST if DEFAULT_HOST_NAME is not defined). This is used in setting the link to the archives on the page returned by the /listinfo/<list> URI.

If you want to change these list attributes for a given list then £prefix/bin/withlist is your friend. The standard MM 2.1 distribution has the $prefix/bin/fix_url.py script wto be used in conjunction with £prefix/bin/withlist to reset a list's web_page_url and host_name. The values to which web_page_url and host_name are set by fix_url.py depend on the then current default MM parameters set in $prefix/Mailman/Defaults.py and $prefix/Mailman/mm_cfg.py and the options you put on the command line when running fix_url. See the code in fix_url.py for deatils; python is quite easy to read.

Interesting... I just made a similar change and I'm hoping it's going to
work. Maybe it won't *shrug*

My next thought is to use Apache to rewrite the urls. It can be done,
but it should be consistent in Mailman in the first place. Anyone?
