Hey Mark

Thanks for the reply man. I want to require HTTPS for Mailman and all of
its lists. I already have an SSL cert . I am running Apache as the
webserver on RHEL 7.  I took a look at the FAQs on the Mailman site,
regarding setting up SSL. It mentions that a virtual host can be set up for
HTTP to redirect to HTTPS, and a virtualhost can be set up for the HTTPS
and mailman configured to only work on HTTPs.  It is the latter part,
setting up the VirtualHost for HTTPS and configuring mailman to work only
with HTTPs, which I am lost on. I did research online and I found this
posting:

https://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=30938

But it does not seem that the OP ever got his issue resolved. He did not
post any updates.  So, to summarize, I need assistance on setting up the
VirtualHost for the HTTPS only access to Mailman


Thanks!
