First, please see the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/OIDD>.

Is the above a typo? Do you mean
http://<domain>/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/<list>? In any case, these
shouldn't be a generic 404. In recent Mailman the "No such list
<domain>" message would be returned with a 404 status, but it would
clearly be a Mailman page.

There is apparently something wrong with either the ScriptAlias (or
equivalent) in your web server config, or maybe your
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN is wrong, or maybe its the http/https issue below.

Try running Mailman's bin/genaliases to completely rebuild aliases and
virtual-mailman. If there are multiple entries for a list, deleting
and recreating the list will remove at most one of them.

Possibly its domain (host_name) is no longer in
POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS or you changed its host_name via the web
admin interface.

If you want https URLs, see the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/7oA9>.
