Our ISP, like many others, does not allow inbound port 80 (in fact, 
they disabled it recently without so much as telling us, before which I 
had run a web server rather successfully... cheeky bastards).

I've set up Apache to listen on a nonstandard port (312) and configured 
Mailman 2.1.3 to do the same.

I have replaced my host with foo.com.  Here is my mm_cfg.py:

MTA = 'Postfix'
IMAGE_LOGOS = '/icons/'
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'mail.foo.com'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'foo.com'
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s:312/mailman/'
PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL = 'http://%(hostname)s:312/pipermail/%(listname)s'
# add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

I have run the fix_url script on both lists currently on the server 
(mailman and testinglist), and restarted mailman with mailmanctl.  When 
I connect to my host, I get the strangest thing.  The links to both 
lists are correct.

However, some links are horribly borked, for example:

Create a new mailing list, which should be 
http://foo.com:312/mailman/create, is:

http://foo.com:312/mailman/http://foo.com:312:312/mailman/create

Mailing list overview page is:

http://foo.com:312/mailman/http://foo.com:312:312/mailman/listinfo

:O

Likewise my email, which should be at DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST, is 
misreported ( the mailto link is likewise broken )

" Send questions and comments to mailman at foo.com:312 "

What could be responsible for this?  I hope I've given you enough 
information to at least scratch your heads for a bit.

Thanks for your help.
