I think the problem is the webserver is using vhosts and doesn't process a request by IP or by other hostnames through the right config for Mailman lists.  For example:

  http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-emulation

...works fine, but:

  http://wwwdyn.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-emulation

...or by IP address will fail.  Experimentation with telnet or curl specifying different Host: headers should confirm this behavior.  :-)
