mailman version 2.1.22 works fine for my webpages I set up such as [http://cibolo.us/mailman/listinfo/open\_electroporator](http://cibolo.us/mailman/listinfo/open_electroporator) that URl is rewritten and permenanently directed to below: [https://cibolo.us/mailman/listinfo/open\_electroporator](https://cibolo.us/mailman/listinfo/open_electroporator) The problem is with the moderation page. When submitting a change, a security warning pops up saying info will not be encrypted, I click continue, The radio button for discard goes back to Defer, the state it was in before. All other functions of the admin pages work normally except for this. Do you think some special rewrite is needed for [https://cibolo.us/mailman/admindb/sandbox](https://cibolo.us/mailman/admindb/sandbox) the URl that has this problem? (All lists on this server have this problem). Thanks, John Griessen ================================================================= I checked and my configuration had: DEFAULT\_URL\_HOST = ‘[cibolo.us](http://cibolo.us)’ DEFAULT\_URL\_PATTERN = ‘http://%s/mailman/’ DEFAULT\_EMAIL\_HOST = ‘[cibolo.us](http://cibolo.us)’ MTA=‘Postfix’ nginx was set to serve [www.cibolo.us](http://www.cibolo.us) and [cibolo.us](http://cibolo.us) by redirecting to [https://cibolo.us](https://cibolo.us) the subdirectories are set to be rewritten as in > **[Mailman | NGINX](https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/recipes/mailman/)** > > A sample NGINX configuration for Mailman. location /mailman location /images/mailman location /pipermail After noting these settings, I reran sudo /usr/sbin/withlist -l -r fix\_url sandbox then cleared the browser cache, then browsed [https://cibolo.us/mailman/listinfo](https://cibolo.us/mailman/listinfo) where I see an overall lists list I use those links to navigate to [https://cibolo.us/mailman/listinfo/sandbox](https://cibolo.us/mailman/listinfo/sandbox) [https://cibolo.us/mailman/admin/sandbox](https://cibolo.us/mailman/admin/sandbox) [https://cibolo.us/mailman/admindb/sandbox](https://cibolo.us/mailman/admindb/sandbox) and when I change action to take to discard and click submit, a security warning pops up saying info will not be encrypted, I click continue, The radio button for discard goes back to Defer, the state it was in before. All other functions of the admin pages work normally except for this. # ======================================================= If I change nginx to not redirect, but serve http without TLS certs when asked, the user interface for moderation works normally. ---
