The problem is the recommended rewrite rule for Apache is too agressive. You probably have something like RedirectMatch /mailman[/]*$ http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo or something equivalent if your web server is not Apache. The pattern should be anchored. I.e. RedirectMatch /^mailman[/]*$ http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo The workaround before you change your Apache config is to append something to the URL you use or modify it in some other way that the cgi script ignores. E.g. instead of trying to go to http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo/mailman go to http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo/mailman/x or to http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo/Mailman -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
