What's this??  The only setting that's close is PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL
which defaults to

PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL = 'http://%(hostname)s/pipermail/%(listname)s'

if these are different from what's in Defaults.py, you also need

add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

and to be squeeky clean, you can precede this with
VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear() to remove the entry set in Defaults.py, i.e.,

VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

That is strange. If the source HTML has the correct link, why does your
browser mung it? is the source link absolute - i.e., does it start
with http://?

Did you create the list before arriving at the above mm_cfg.py
settings?. If so, the web_page_url list attribute is probably wrong.
The easiest way to fix it is with bin/fix_url.py.
