There is one unresolved List however.

One particular List has a public archive. 
All attempts to access the archive via the web gives me "403 Forbidden.
You don't have permission to access this resource"

When I flip the archiving to "private", it works fine ... they become
accessible via admin interface. Going back to the original
setting (Public) makes the archives inaccessible again.

What could be wrong?

Regards
Onyeibo

The /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/ directory is not searchable by
the web server. It should be mode o+x, or if it is o-x, it must be owned
by the web server user. See the warning box at
.
