What Mailman version are you running? STEALTH_MODE has been set to 1 by
default in scripts/driver since Mailman 2.1.6. If you are still
running 2.1.5 or earlier and are concerned about security issues, see
<http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mailman-coders/mailman/2.1/view/head:/NEWS>.

Edit the file Mailman/Cgi/rmlist.py

Insert the line

raise Exception

immediately preceding the line

def main():

and go to a URL like <http://example.com/mailman/rmlist>.

After you're finished testing, remove the added line.
