[thelist] Redirect user agent to warning page

[Raditha Dissanayake]

Hi,
It could be because on certain configurations the error documents are 
delivered from a directory outside the htdocs, if you look at your error 
log file you will see some messages related to errordocument. That will 
help you diagnose and fix the problem.

all the best
