Hello,
Disclaimer: Unlike you I have only been running mailman lists for a year and a half so I am unlikely to be of any help!

Are the actual pages being generated in /var/lib/mail/archives/ ?
Is the apache virtual domain configured to use the mailman cgi-bin?
These were the only two questions that occurred to me when I read through your mail.

Hi, Kapil. Thanks for trying to help.

You'll note that http://linuxmafia.com/mailman/listinfo (and all functions of the linuxmafia.com-based mailing lists) works, so I think it's fair to say "yes". For reasons not yet clear, just not for the virthost.

Let me just quote what I just sent back to a similar query from someone on mailman-user:

Um, that's not 404, you're being 301-redirected by the .htaccess file to a URL that is 404 on account of Mailman not providing the virthost there. Here, let's temporarily disable the .htaccess file, and see:
# cd /var/www/gazette/ linuxmafia:/var/www/gazette# mv .htaccess .htaccess-save linuxmafia:/var/www/gazette# touch HELLO-WORLD
You'll please note that http://lists.linuxgazette.net/ (and http://lists.linuxgazette.net/HELLO-WORLD ) are not, in fact, 404.
But anyway, since you ask, here's the relevant excerpt from the Apache config:
<VirtualHost lists.linuxgazette.net:80> DocumentRoot /var/www/gazette </VirtualHost> <Directory /var/www/gazette/> Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>
