Probably good advice, but see below.

There is problem with the above. If you install Apache for Mailman, you
can't access Apache at https://abc.xyz.org/ because Tomcat is
listening on that https port (443). You will have to

- use a port other than 443 or http (not https) scheme for Mailman or

- use a different domain name/IP address for Mailman or

- if possible arrange for Tomcat to pass https://abc.xyz.org/mailman/
requests to Apache.
