Most likely, you haven't told your web server that it is OK to follow
symlinks in this directory.

E.g. in Apache you may have something like

  Alias /pipermail/ /var/mailman/archives/public/

You also need

  <Directory /var/mailman/archives>
          Options +FollowSymlinks
  </Directory>

To allow symlinks to be followed anywhere in the archives (there is
also one in the monthly archive linking index.html to thread.html).
