Over lunch I was also thinking about the new MailMan setup and about how I
can improve security. I thought of one. Instead of pointing DocumentRoot
to /var/lib/mailman, I created a directory /var/lib/mailman/html (or
anywhere, actually) where I put the index.html file the code of which I
recommended in my earlier reply. Then I set this as DocumentRoot. This way
a person with proper MailMan know-how cannot view things like your
mm_cfg.py by simply going to <http://lists.abc.com/Mailman/mm_cfg.py>. The
ScriptAlias definition that redirects /mailman to /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman
makes everything work as it should, no matter what your DocumentRoot is. I
also have Alias definitions for /pipermail and /images. :)
