Hmmmm... That's odd.

I can tell you what we wound up doing on our new server.  We tried for a
week to get it to work in a virtual domain - it just wouldn't work with our
server set up, so we wound up putting it on the root of the machine.  Now,
it's not truly set up as a virtual site, as it would have been under the
software on the machine, so you don't get the nice GUI and that for the back
end, but Mailman WORKS.  It sounds like you got much farther than we did.
Good luck sorting it out.  We couldn't find any info on our particular set
up running mailman, so we had to improvise and compromise.
