Double check you have these variables set in your mm_cfg.py:
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'mailman.kushana.com:10445'
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'https://%s/mailman/'

There's still some minor issues though with SSL I think since I have
mine all set, and for the most part, it works, but there's still a few
miscellaneous links that don't link to the SSL side of my server
(using version 2.1.5). One major area that's lacking is that the login
forms don't POST using SSL, I think a number of the generated URLs are
lacking some of the settings.
