I've just installed mailman, and am having a couple of problems. The first is that http://dom.ain/mailman/ returns '403 forbidden',
That is normal. Users normally should visit http://dom.ain/mailman/listinfo/ and administrators visit http://dom.ain/mailman/admin/. Many Mailman administrators will include an Apache redirectmatch to bounce visitors from http://dom.ain/mailman/ to http://dom.ain/mailman/listinfo/
and any other page (ie. http://dom.ain/create) returns '500 internal server error'.
With a normal installation, you should be visiting http://dom.ain/mailman/create/

Are you trying to use Apache's suEXEC feature? It conflicts with the normal Mailman installation. You will need to make sure the cgi-bin directory is not group writable. (Once over that hurdle, you will probably then have to make sure that the files in cgi-bin don't have the SGID bit set, and are owned by the correct user/group so that suEXEC can set the group for the scripts.)
