i checked all this.

DEFAULT_URL ist None (as it was before)
I created my new lists only after i made the changes to mm_cfg.py,
althoug i tried fix_paths as well.

I still have the problem that the links do not point to the proper location.
Following one working link to the "Mailman Administrator Authentication"
of the mailman list, the problem can be seen very clear.

Mailman list run by proescho at informatik.uni-muenchen.de (points to 
maillists.test.my.domain)
Mailman administrative interface (requires authorization) (points to 
tools.my.domain)
Overview of all maillists.test.rz.informatik.uni-muenchen.de mailing lists 
(points to maillists.my.domain)

The next thing i noticed is, that the cgi action form points to 
/cgi-bin/mailman, althouth i configured /mailman/ in mm_cfg.py


any more ideas?

many thanks
