Gee i feel like i have a new sirname "pobox.com" ;)

the extra little "order allow,deny...allow from all" is necessary if
their are auth restrictions in a higher level directory preventing
access access to the public.

Maybe this should go in the docs somewhere.

do you mean the list admin password, or creating a separate listwide
password that will work for everybody for everything except admin
stuff?
