The real problem is that for http://<hostname>/mailman/listinfo/<list name> both the "listinfo" and <list name> are pseudo elements, ie you can't cd to either one as they don't exist. I was trying simple apache Alias directives, and symlinks both of which fail do to the fact that listinfo is not a file or directory. Hadn't thought about rewrites...thanks, new avenue to explore.
