I had tried, but the problem is more complex than that

I have tried also to add the lines 
   Alias /mailman/private/ /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/
in /etc/apache/srm.conf
but then when someone accesses
the address   http://tonelli.sns.it/mailman/private/XYZ/
s/he can read all the archive, without any password

Instead mailman claims that

and this is the functionality that I would like to get


anyway thanks
