Without more information there is little we can say.  Are you the
Mailman administrator for the site?  Do you have access to Mailman,
MTA, and webserver logs (especially the latter)?  Is the webserver
generally configured to use HTTPS rather than HTTP?  Is this is the
first time you've tried these operations, or a change in Mailman's
behavior from past operations?


First, the "The information you’re about to submit is not secure ..." message comes from your web browser, not Mailman and is because your are POSTing form data to and http (not https) URL.


My unfounded guess is that the webserver is part HTTP and part HTTPS,
and your confirmation and approval requests are getting lost in the
referral.  This can be corrected by making sure the mm_cfg.py file has
the correct URL, and running the bin/fix_url script in the Mailman
installation.  Of course if you're not using HTTPS at all, that's
completely wrong.


I agree with Steve. I think your web server is redirecting http to https and the POST data is lost in the process. See steps 2 and 3 at https://wiki.list.org/x/17892007 for more information on how to fix this.
