I'm struggling with setting up mailman with a web server running on port 800
It probably isn't important but port 800 is listed in:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers
as being conventional for a different service to HTTP. 8080 and 8008 are more conventionally used as alternative HTTP ports to port 80. The only reason I mention it is that if you are publishing on the internet you are more likely to encounter users having access problems with "unusua" outbound port numbers if they are behind very restrictively configured firewalls.
instead of 80, so of course I would like to have the correct URL showing up
everywhere.. But it doesn't in the e-mails from the system when f.x. a user
wants to join.
In mm_cfg.py I have these URL related settings:
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'the-server.net' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'www.the-server.net:800'
This value for DEFAULT_URL_HOST is wrong, do not put the port number in this it is _just_ the hostname's FQDN that goes here.
DEFAULT_URL = 'http://www.the-server.net:800/mailman/'
The DEFAULT_URL is OK but the following FAQ entry may explain some other things you need to do:
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.029.htp
In the mails originating from the mailman system I get this URL:
http://www.the-server.net/mailman/confirm/list/6546546sdf6s5a4f
As you can see, port 800 is omitted!
