[Mailman-Users] can't admin 'mailman' list

[Eric Seppanen]

Recently some confused person or spam-bot sent a message to the mailing
list named 'mailman' at my site.

I no longer remember what this list is for, but the install directions
told me to create it.

Anyway, because this mail was sent to that list by a non-member it was
quarantined and I'm getting messages saying

> The Mailman at mysite.com mailing list has 1 request(s) waiting for your

>

but for some reason, I can't reach the admin page for the 'mailman'
list-- it simply redirects me back to /mailman/listinfo.

So I'm getting daily reminders that I can't stop, because the web admin
interface doesn't appear to allow access to the special 'mailman' list.
How can I fix this?

Thanks,
Eric
