D'oh!  Good luck with it. :)

Hehe, nothing like having to fix the simple 'do all the setup for you' rpm
version.

Well, except for the below, right?

After you add the DEFAULT_URL_HOST and DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST (and the
add_virtualhost call below them), you need to restart the mailman service to
make it take effect.  And you'll also need to use the fix_url script to
correct any lists you created before you made this change, they will still
have the bad defaults.  If you only have test lists, it might be just as
easy to delete them and recreate them if you're unsure of how to use the
fix_url script.

Look at the logs in /var/logs/mailman for clues (I think that's where redhat
moves them to).

So far, every issue you have is caused by the bad redhat 9 rpm.  I hope you
don't hold this against mailman.  It is really nice software.  It's just a
shame that the packager of the redhat 9 rpm was on crack when he put the rpm
together and unleashed it on the unsuspecting masses. ;-)
