Odd issue after setting Mailman to use https by default.

Last week I got a notification from our SSL cert provider that the cert for our mailman server was expiring, so I renewed it, and realized that when I rebuilt the server last year I didn’t actually enable it in Apache.
So I did, and added a rewrite rule in the httpd.conf to force all traffic to use https.
After that, whenever a moderator or admin tried to submit a response for a held message, we would get a pop-up stating that “This form is insecure” , if we proceeded, the form submitted but nothing would happen…the message was not approved or discarded.
After I removed the rewrite rule, the action works now, but it drops me onto the http:// site not https:// .
Is there some site setting in Mailman I am missing to tell it to always use https:// ?
