Right after I first installed Mailman I created a new list called mailman. I would think that then I should be able to access the Mailman admin page for this list by using a URL like http://my.host.com/mailman/admin/mailman/ Is that right? When I do this I get an "Internal Server Error" message. Does anyone have any idea what might cause that?
