[Mailman-Users] [mailman-owner at babylon5.babcom.com: Your new mailing list: test]

[Steve Pirk]

That is why the webserver needs a "script alias" like this:
ScriptAlias /mailman /home/mailman/cgi-bin 

This tell apache to treat any requests for files in /mailman
to be of type cgi and map them to the real location of
/home/mailman/cgi-bin

Thus a request for 
http://www.babcom.com/mailman/admin/test

executes 
/home/mailman/cgi-bin/admin passing in the listname "test" as a
variable...
