[Mailman-Users] Archive problems

[Thomas Waters]

rad,
I understand the "why" of this, but don't understand the problem or  
fix to the problem.

Our mm_cfg.py file listed the correct values for Default URL and  
Default host, so I don't understand how/why the default.py file was  
1) wrong, and 2) over-riding the mm_cfg.py file.  I guess I don't  
understand how these two files relate to each other.
