DEFAULT_URL is a deprecated setting. Don't use it. If you need to
change the form of the URL, the setting to use is DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN,
but the default setting

DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/mailman/'

should be OK in your case so you don't need this in mm_cfg.py. Also
confirm what you have for PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL. The default

PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL = 'http://%(hostname)s/pipermail/%(listname)s'

should be OK here too.

After fixing mm_cfg.py, do 'bin/mailmanctl restart' and then run
fix_url on your list. See
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.069.htp>.

Actually, I believe the problem must be in your setting for
PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL, and you don't need to run fix_url for that change
to be effective, but you do need to restart Mailman.
