Thanks very much for the information. 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.
Thanks again!

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.
