set

DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'

in mm_cfg.py where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address. If there is
already a setting of DEFAULT_URL_HOST and DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST in
mm_cfg.py followed by

add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

just change the DEFAULT_URL_HOST setting. Otherwise see the FAQ at
<http://wiki.list.org/x/gIA9>.

In either case, after changing mm_cfg.py, restart Mailman and run
fix_url - see the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/mIA9>.
