I'm not sure I know what ALL the problems are, but my question is are
you trying to access Mailman via SSL (i.e. https scheme URLs) or not.
If so, it appears that the POST URLs in the admin pages are http, not
https. To change this, you need to have

DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'https://%s/mailman/'

in mm_cfg.py and then run fix_url on all the lists to update them. See
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.027.htp>.

If you are not trying to use SSL, then go to
http://mailman_server/mailman/admin/ and not to
https://mailman_server/mailman/admin/.

If you are getting the https URLs because of a redirect in your web
server, that is probably causing a loss of the POST data from the
form. The above should fix it. See also,
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.045.htp>.
