4.57. How do I administer the 'mailman' list (site list)?

See also What is the purpose of the site-wide mailing list?.

I can't reach the admindb (or the admin pages) page for the 'mailman' list-- 
going to http://www.example.com/mailman/admindb/mailman redirects me back to 
http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo.

The problem is you have a redirect in your web server that is too agressive. You may have something like

 RedirectMatch /mailman[/]*$ http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo

in your httpd.conf. This should be anchored as in

 RedirectMatch ^/mailman[/]*$ http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo

In the mean time, you can get to the admindb pages for the mailman list by appending /x (or /anything) to the url as in

 http://www.example.com/mailman/admindb/mailman/x

(Note that allowing such "URL roulette" may change in the future, http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=1879338 )
