David,

Because you used the “^” symbol, aren’t you attempting to start your match at the beginning of the string? 
Thus, you’d have to include the initial forward slash:
i.e. “^/mailman/listinfo(.*)__;.*”

I know you said your original ^listinfo regex worked, but I always thought the caret symbol meant you had to match the start of your string.
