You need to create the public/ directory with mode drwxrwsr-x (2775) and
the private/ directory with mode drwxrws--x (2771) and group equal
Mailman's group.
The public/ directory can be empty. The private/ directory should
contain two sub-directories per list with names xxx and xxx.mbox where
xxx is the list name and with mode mode drwxrwsr-x (2775), and the
private/xxx/ directories should contain an index.html file with content
similar to
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <HTML>
<HEAD>
<title>The xxx Archives</title>
<META NAME="robots" CONTENT="noindex,follow">
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#ffffff">
<h1>The xxx Archives </h1>
<p>
No messages have been posted to this list yet, so the archives are
currently empty. You can get <a

about this list</a>.
