What's wrong with:I think what you want to do to fix this is add a carat ("^") before the first slash: RedirectMatch ^/mailman[/]*$ http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfoThat way, it only catches it if "/mailman" occurs at the beginning of the string. Personally, I use a little more inclusive regular expression, because I want it to also redirect any requests for the top level (http://lists.example.com) to the listinfo page: RewriteRule ^[/]{0,1}(mailman[/]{0,1}){0,1}$ /mailman/listinfo [L,R]
RedirectMatch permanent ^/mailman(|/)$ /mailman/listinfo
or, if you have mod_rewrite and the rewrite engine on:
RewriteRule ^/mailman(|/)$ /mailman/listinfo [R,L]
or even better:
RewriteRule ^/mailman(|/)$ /mailman/listinfo [PT]
The latter has the advantage, courtesy of the PT flag, of delivering the /mailman/listinfo page immediately instead of making the browser do a second request (each time it visits) to follow the redirection response produced by the initial request, if that request's URI path was /mailman or /mailman/
I claim to be no master of regular expressions, though... because wow that looks ugly. That notwithstanding, I think my advice on your situation is correct.

I am running RedHat 8.0 and which came with Mailman 2.0.13. It suggests adding the following to the httpd.conf file: # Uncomment the following line, replacing www.example.com with your server's # name, to redirect queries to /mailman to the listinfo page (recommended). # RedirectMatch /mailman[/]*$ http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo That used to work fine. I just upgraded to Mailman 2.1. I created the list "mailman" as instructed at the end of section 4 of the INSTALL document but cannot get to the administrative page http://www.example.com/mailman/admin/mailman or the list overview page http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo/mailman because "RedirectMatch" thinks it is http://www.example.com/mailman and just redirects it the top level listinfo page. I am aware that I have two options: 1. Rename the "mailman" list 2. Remove the "RedirectMatch" statement from the httpd.conf file. Is there a third? I tried fiddling with the regular expression, but I just do not know what I am doing. Any help would be appreciated.
