Hmm...looks right to me, and matches with how mine are set up now. Also, in your srm.conf file (you said you had it modified), do you have a

Alias /pipermail/ /home/mailman/archives/public/

Note, there should _not_ be a ScriptAlias line involving pipermail. (I forget if that's how the documentation is worded or what, but for a while I had both, and Scott said there should only be 1, and it should be the Alias)

Yes, I had a pretty much identical problem (RH 5.1 machine). What does an ls -l look like in your /home/mailman/archives/private/ dir look like? Scott (scott@chronis.pobox.com) logged onto my system and found that a bunch of the symlinks were all crackheaded..some pointed to the right place, and others didn't. After he fixed this, (and I used the arch script to import my accumulated list archives) all has been fine and dandy.

Here is what I get for the /home/mailman/archives/public directory:

[jlewis@hadron public]$ ls -l total 0 rwxrwxrwx 1 root mailman 39 Nov 10 17:36 testlist -> /home/mailman/archives/private/testlist lrwxrwxrwx 1 root mailman 44 Nov 10 17:36 testlist.mbox -> /home/mailman/archives/private/testlist.mbox

Which looks right. Is it though? I installed mailman as root.
