Great news!!! I restored the old main.cf file from tape, changed

Thanks for all the help. Mark, i know i now need to (quoted by Mark) "

This directory needs to be searchable by the web server or public
archives won't work. See the post at
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2007-December/059288.html>
for information about this and the 'pipermail' alias you need to make"

I will work on this now.
public archives work.
