[Mailman-Users] Converting Existing Private Archive to Public Archive

[Bill Selmeier]

I think with the help from this list, we got it fixed finally.  We did
find two different definitions of the pipermail aliases in the apache
http.conf file.  Many thanks to Todd, r.barrett and others that helped
zero in on the problem.  In the domain UWSA.COM, as in United We Stand
America, three of the archives are public and more will be as we get the
agreement of list moderators.
