So you need to access Mailman CGI pages via URLs of the form
scheme://host/mailman/... as in your example above that works. This
means you need (for https scheme)


DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'https://%s/mailman/'

in mm_cfg.py. After making this change, you need to run fix_url as
below.

Right. It is independent of whether or not Mailman is running. The
above is the expected output, but it won't do the right thing if
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN is wrong.
