The Apache conf has:

ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/

I didn't harp on that in either of my posts because I had pointed out that the Mailman Web pages _do work_ for the default host -- and also invited people to have a look at http://linuxmafia.com/mailman/listinfo and subpages thereof, if they had any doubts.

-=but=-, the above ScriptAlias was neatly tucked into the stanza for the default host. And:

That was it! Fixed, now.

Damn. Bear in mind, I've just had a forced transition from Apache 1.3.x to Apache2 (on account of sudden destruction of the old box), so my excuse is that Debian's Apache2 conffile setup is rather different from what I was used to.

Thank you, Mark. And thank you, good gentleman all.
