Priority: 7 Submitted By: Greg Ward (gward) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: list creation ignores DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST
Initial Comment: If I set DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST in mm_cfg.py, its value is ignored when creating a new list. It's pretty easy to see why: MailList.InitVars uses DEFAULT_HOST_NAME. But the two are only equal as long as mm_cfg.py is not used.
If DEFAULT_HOST_NAME and DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST are really supposed to be the same, perhaps DEFAULT_HOST_NAME should not be set in Defaults.py -- rather, any code that looks at DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST should check to see if DEFAULT_HOST_NAME happens to be defined in mm_cfg, and use it if so. Or something like that.
I'm happy to supply a patch if someone agrees that this is a bug.
