1. Are you running SELinux? If yes, see my response to your previous
posting on this subject.

2. Is the apache user a member of the mailman group? If not, how is the
web server (usually running as user apache, group apache) supposed to
read things under /usr/local/mailman/archives/private, which has no
permissions open for anyone other than user and group apache?
