What do the URLs for these things look like? Are they both forms that need 
submitting? How do you reach a point at which these pages can be accessed 
through http rather than https? Shouldn't the user being going to (say) the 
mailman top page, get redirected to the https version of that page and then 
everything from that point on is https and doesn't use the redirect? Do your 
pages for mailman etc. have hardcoded http: URLs in them rather than https?
