Hello Racke,

Yes, that was exactly what was wrong! In /etc/sympa/sympa.conf I had
included a png with a logo to be displayed, and referred to it as:

https://ml.hku.nl/sympa/static_content/icons/HKUlogo.png

instead of:

https://ml.hku.nl/static_content/icons/HKUlogo.png

The messages in the log are now gone, plus I can add users to lists!

Thanks very much!
Best,

gerard
