Wow, I wasn't aware that "swartz" was a new TLD. :)

Check your Defaults.py and mm_cfg.py files to see if things like
PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL make sense.

Ah.

I don't think Mailman's gong to work to well this way.  Basically, you
can't give lists multiple personalities.  You'll probably have to do
some fancy redirections with Apache to make this work.
