You can do that with, e.g.

RedirectMatch ^/mailman[/]*$   /mailman/listinfo/

Are you using a FreeBSD port? If so, See <https://wiki.list.org/x/12812344>.

The path beginning with a / is relative the the Apache DocumentRoot that
applies to your Mailman host. Probably just

IMAGE_LOGOS = '/icons/'

In any case if you can get an icon with

http://example.com/path/icons/mailman.jpg

Then what you want in this case is

IMAGE_LOGOS = '/path/icons/'
