Relative Admin URLs
![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/55dd4b9d4dca2dc661df666477622d76.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
I read some threads on producing relative URLs for the admin pages but it seemed like there is a bug/hole and I did not find any closure on it. Has that issue been resolved and if so how do I configure mailman to generate relative URLs rather than absolute? Thanks.

What are you looking at? You have to look at the raw HTML (page source) delivered to the browser to see a difference. In practical terms, there's not going to be a difference in the HTTP interaction between the browser and the server.
