[Mailman-Users] why can't people see my lists?

First, try setting VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW=0 in mm_cfg.py (read about
it in Defaults.py). If that makes them show up, then check their
web_page_url with this:

bin/config_list -o - <listname> | grep web_page_url

If that doesn't show a path, then the list is using DEFAULT_URL
(in Defaults.py or mm_cfg.py).  If the URL doesn't match 
www.mysql.org, then there's your answer.
