MTA = "Postfix"
IMAGE_LOGOS = '/icons/'
VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()
add_virtualhost('www.thedalzells.org')

My process is:
* change the file
* Run fix_url
* restart mailman

The problem is that the links on the site-wide Mailman list aren't 
changed to whatever I have the the add_virtualhost call.

So I have made the changes in Defaults.py, which you are not supposed to do.

Thanks
