I'm going to make a FAQ for this.

The problem is you have a redirect in your web server that is too
agressive. You may have something like

RedirectMatch /mailman[/]*$ http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo

in your httpd.conf. This should be anchored as in

RedirectMatch ^/mailman[/]*$ http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo

In the mean time, you can get to the admindb pages for the mailman list
by appending /x (or /anything) to the url as in

http://www.example.com/mailman/admindb/mailman/x
