[MM3-users] So, why are css & js files only served with "DEBUG = yes" ?

Hello List,

I did see this discussed in #180 <https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/issues/180>, but I didn't quite understand if this is an issue or not.

Why is it that I can run the development server just fine.

And as soon as I comment out

# SECURITY WARNING: don't run with debug turned on in production!
# DEBUG = True

in mailman-suite/mailman-suite_project/settings.py and restart it 404s on me.

So the choice is insecure vs. ugly? Neither of those sounds very tempting.

I guess, I am missing something, or no?
