Different redirection per client is unexpected. I'm guessing that the
browser cache wasn't cleared? It's frequently simplest to test using
"curl" to see exactly what response is sent.

Your nginx.conf almost certainly does a "proxy_pass" to the web server
that actually runs mailman.

I suggest you confirm that mailman is installed and working correctly
on that web server -- if it isn't, nginx won't help.

If the 400 error comes from nginx, there should be something in the logs
to indicate the nature of the problem.
