[Mailman-Users] mailman website forbidden

[JT]

The only security issue is directory indexes - most installations do
not, by default, display the contents of a directory if there is no
index.

Best thing to do would be:

A) Apache rewrite rule to accomplish the redirection:
	Redirect permanent /mailman/ /mailman/listinfo/
B) Simple CGI to accomplish the redirection, ideally by returning an
Apache redirect
C) Do B) in Python and sumbit it to the list!

Alternatively:
D) Nothing.  It's harmless.
