Note that DEFAULT_URL_HOST and DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST are variable names  
not strings, and so should not have been quoted:

DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'www.example.com'
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'example.com'
VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

Any time you do something that changes the URL, you need to use  
fix_url to update existing lists.

I would guess that there is a value being added to the VIRTUAL_HOSTS  
dictionary in your Defaults.py that has the wrong DEFAULT_URL_HOST.   
'clear'ing it in your mm_cfg.py allows you to be explict about the  
entries.
