Which says:

There are also the following deprecated settings which still exist to
support old mm_cfg.py files, but shouldn't be referenced in current
mm_cfg.py files.

 DEFAULT_HOST_NAME = None
 DEFAULT_URL = None

As noted above, these two settings are deprecated and should not be
used, and in fact override some of the settings below.

>DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'a.b.c'
>VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()

If the above two domains are really the same, it's redundant to list it
twice in POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS.

Not quite. host_name doesn't come into it. if VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW is
on, the host including port in the list's web_page_url must match that
used to access the page for the list to be displayed. Since you set
DEFAULT_URL, your lists' web_page_url attribute is 'http://a.b.c'
rather than 'http:/a.b.c:8888/mailman/'. This will cause other
problems as well in that all URLs generated by Mailman will be wrong.

Remove

DEFAULT_HOST_NAME = 'a.b.c'
DEFAULT_URL = 'http://a.b.c'

from mm_cfg.py, restart Mailman and re-run fix_url.
