That's normal behavior for Mailman configuration.  The "DEFAULT_"
variables are used at list creation time only, I beleve.

I suppose the rationale is that you really don't want all your
existing lists to suddenly *change* behavior because you change the
default.  Perhaps we could have a DEFAULT (for creation time) and a
FALLBACK (for lists without a specific setting).
