Also see <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.062.htp> (now referenced from 4.36). >I didn't configure the DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST and DEFAULT_URL_HOST during >the configuration of Mailman, so I added them to mm_cfg.py and >restarted mailman. My entry looks like this: > >#Virtual Host and Email Host >add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) >DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'mailinglists.state.or.us' >DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'mailinglists.state.or.us' Presumably the definitions of DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST and DEFAULT_URL_HOST in Defaults.py are wrong since you didn't configure them and your host is 'Unknown'. Therefore, there are two problems with the above. The first problem is you want to remove the erroneous VIRTUAL_HOSTS entry created in Defaults.py. This is not critical, but it is good practice. The main problem is you need to move the add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) directive to a point AFTER you have redefined DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST and DEFAULT_URL_HOST. Otherwise, you are just re-adding the erroneous entry from Defaults.py. So what you want is VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear() DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'mailinglists.state.or.us' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'mailinglists.state.or.us' add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) (the first 3 can be in any order, but the add_virtualhost() must be the last of the 4. >Other list admin functions from the web work and I can create lists >from the command line. You may need to run fix_url on the lists you created from the command line.
