I cited the FAQ entry in my initial response because it says the 
following at the top:

<quote>
Changing hostnames
  ------------------
These changes should be made $prefix/Mailman/mm_cfg.py. The applicable 
MM config variables are described in $prefix/Mailman/Defaults.py. 
Typically something like what follows, at the end of your mm_cfg.py, 
will do the trick:

DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'your.mailhostname.tld'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'your.webhostname.tld'
VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

and some more add_virtualhost(URL_FQDN, EMAIL_FQDN) if you are using 
virtual hosts.

I am at a loss to find any simpler way of expressing what needs to be 
done.

If you do this then fix_url.py will probably work as planned!
