I'm interested only in running mailman on localhost and would like access to the web interface, but am getting 404:
root@dur:~#
root@dur:~# ln -s /etc/mailman/apache.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mailman -v
`/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mailman' -> `/etc/mailman/apache.conf'
root@dur:~#
root@dur:~# service apache2 restart
* Restarting web server apache2 ... waiting . [ OK ]
root@dur:~#
root@dur:~# curl http://localhost/mailman/admin/

Although I did have to tinker a bit with mailmain to get that recognized.
While I don't need to setup web access using MM list passwords, I would like to setup web admin to add/remove mailing lists.
How do I configure apache or mailman so that I can navigate to http://localhost/mailman/admin/?
As per installing mailman, I setup aliases as so:
root@dur:~#
root@dur:~# cat /etc/aliases
usenet: root
## mailman mailing list
mailman: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman"
mailman-admin: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman admin mailman"
mailman-bounces: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman bounces mailman"
mailman-confirm: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman confirm mailman"
mailman-join: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman join mailman"
mailman-leave: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman leave mailman"
mailman-owner: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman owner mailman"
mailman-request: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman request mailman"
mailman-subscribe: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe mailman"
mailman-unsubscribe: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe mailman"

Perhaps these can be used somehow?
