It will if you go to http://calserv.calconnect.org/mailman/listinfo

No No No !!!

VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()

Otherwise what happens is mm_cfg.VIRTUAL_HOSTS becomes this new, empty
dictionary, but


>> add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)


add_virtualhost() which was defined in Defaults.py adds to
Defaults.VIRTUAL_HOST and that is no longer the same as
mm_cfg.VIRTUAL_HOSTS.

bin/withlist LISTNAME
