Remove the above two lines (deprecated settings) from mm_cfg.py and add the following four lines DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'mail.westmont.edu' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'mail.westmont.edu' VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear() add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) >In Defaults.py (last modified 2006-08-04): > >DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'down.westmont.edu' >DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'down.westmont.edu' >DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/mailman/' > ># DEFAULT_HOST_NAME has been replaced with DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST, however some ># sites may have the former in their mm_cfg.py files.

The four lins you add to mm_cfg.py will override the Defaults.py settings. >When doing a grep for 'down.westmont.edu' in /var/lib/mailman/Mailman, >it also tells me that the binary file Defaults.pyc matches. > >We are cautioned not to edit Defaults.py by hand, and I wouldn't know >how to recompile it anyway. :) You don't edit Defaults.py, you override Defaults.py with mm_cfg.py, and Python recompiles it automatically as necessary. >Can anyone tell me how to fix this so that all our lists will be >configured for mail.westmont.edu? Thanks! Make the above changes to mm_cfg.py and restart Mailman. This still won't fix the existing list which are wrong, but it will set everything up properly. To fix the existing lists, run bin/withlist -l -a -r fix_url or if you wan't fix_url to report what it's doing bin/withlist -l -a -r fix_url -- -v For more information, go to <http://wiki.list.org/display/DOC/Frequently+Asked+Questions> and search for "fix_url. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
