This only affects mail <-> news gatewaying

All the above host names must be fully qualified - i.e...
'bashful.troxlerlabs.local', not just 'bashful'.

Also, I assume the above '_' instead of '=' is just a typo in your
email.

Finally, it would be good here to remove the Defaults.py
add_virtualhost() entry by inserting

VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()

After you fix mm_cfg.py as above, it would be good to run fix_url again.
