[Mailman-Users] rename mailman hostname

[mardin at comcast.net]

Mark ,

In my Defaults.py:
$ more Defaults.py
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'mailman_server1.admin.net'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'mailman_server1.admin.net'

Since I need to rename hostname to mailman_server2.admin.net, I have to change it in mm_cfg.py. Thanks for your explanation, I will add these two lines to mm_cfg.py as follows:

DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'mailman_server2.admin.net'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'mailman_server2.admin.net'
VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'https://%s/mailman/'

Thanks for your help!
