We've removed the redirect and created the jl.htm files where Apache can see them and display the HTML message. This works as planned.

Good to know I was on the right track, but even with your verification and better code, the redirect still takes me to the new /listinfo/listname (subscribe) page rather than the new jl.htm page. I have put the new jl.htm at /var/lib/mailman/lists/listname/jl.htm And, the redirection code at /etc/httpd/conf.d/mailman.conf # Uncomment the following line, to redirect queries to /mailman to the listinfo page (recommended). RedirectMatch ^/soalists/(.*)/jl.htm /mailman/listinfo/$1 RedirectMatch ^/mailman[/]*$ /mailman/listinfo RedirectMatch ^[/]*$ /mailman/listinfo I suspected the last two lines of RedirectMatch were causing the issue, but I get the same result if I remark them out.

There are various ways to do this depending on what you want the user to see. If I understand the URL scheme above something in Apache like RedirectMatch ^/lists/(.*)/jl.htm /mailman/listinfo/$1 would serve to redirect http:/list.domain/lists/listname/jl.htm to http:/list.domain/mailman/listinfo/listname for any 'listname', but if you actually want to display something to the user, you could create a replacement lists/listname/jl.htm containing something like ---------------------------------------------------------- <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <title>List listname - page has moved</title> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; URL=http:/list.domain/mailman/listinfo/listname"> </head> <body> <h2>Page Moved</h2> <p> The page for the listname list has moved.<br> The new location is <a href="http:/list.domain/mailman/listinfo/listname"> http:/list.domain/mailman/listinfo/listname</a>.<br> You will go there automatically in 5 seconds. </p> </body> </html> ---------------------------------------------------------- This will display the page and go to the new page after 5 seconds. You would need one of these per list. If you want to change the delay, change '5' to whatever you want in the content="5; line and the You will go there automatically in 5 seconds. line. If you want the user to have to click, remove the <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; URL=http:/list.domain/mailman/listinfo/listname"> lines and the "You will go there automatically" line. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
