You could run a cronjob that generates an html page with the appropriate links, 
e.g.
a href=$mailmanbaseurl/listinfo/$listname$listname/a
and store the file on the private archive directory of a special list where 
only the list admins
have access to.
If an administrator enters the url 
$mailmanbaseurl/mailman/private/$speciallist/$infopage 
he or she can access the info page with all lists.

This method is rather crude, but requires no change of mailman code. Access 
control is via
mailman's mechanism.

Somehow the

Probably because the /etc/hosts entry for 'localhost' is the ipv6 address.



oh damn... I never even thought to look there.  I really do need to 
remember to keep it simple and go with the basics.  Especially since 
turning ipv6 off in centos turned out to be a lot harder than I ever 
expected it should be.


The ipv6 localhost address was the second line in the hosts file and 
ipv4 was the first.  I thought the first line would have taken 
precedence unless mailman is specifically asking for the ipv6 localhost 
first.


Either way, I've cleaned that up now too.  Thanks!

Ugh. In Apache, you can use Auth in a Location stanza:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_auth_basic.html

I've not tried it with a LocationMatch regexp, but ^/mailman/... might
work too.

Everytime someone on the email list responds to the mass email, people on the 
list are seeing the response.

See the FAQ at http://wiki.list.org/x/3YA9 for our recommendations for
setting up an list so that members can't respond to the list.
