It's not. What's in Defaults.py is

VIRTUAL_HOSTS = {}

and

add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

These two things initialize VIRTUAL_HOSTS to an empty dictionary and 
then add the DEFAULT_URL_HOST: DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST entry.

When you change DEFAULT_URL_HOST and/or DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST in mm_cfg.py, 
you want to clear the VIRTUAL_HOSTS dictionary and start over. Granted, 
Defaults.py only mentions putting the add_virtualhost in mm_cfg.py, and 
it isn't strictly necessary to remove the original entry from 
Defaults.py, but I think it's good to do. See <http://wiki.list.org/x/gIA9>.
