RedirectMatch ^/mailman[/]*$ http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo
That 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]
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 know this is a simple question but I don't have the knowledge to figure it out.
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.
