Actually, in a standad source install of Mailman, you won't have the cgi-bin/ directory in the path. That's from a 3rd party package or someone who went out of the way to do that. > In a cpanel installation we see URLs similar to this: > > http://server.example.com/mailman/options/ourlist_server.example.com/ > > I'm on a cpanel implementation.

It might be possible if you create lists with bin/newlist. You'd have to experiment. As far as the cgi-bin/ segment is concerned, you don't need it. You don't even need the mailman/ segment if it wouldn't create conflicts to drop it. This is all controlled by the list's web_page_url attribute set at list creation time from the lists web host and DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN and Mailman's ScriptAlias or equivalent in the web server.
