I had to make this change to my apache.conf, so that
http://www.ourdomain.com/mailman and http://domain.com/mailman were equally
available.

*** 1023,1031 ****
  </VirtualHost>
  
  <VirtualHost nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn>
! ServerName www.ourdomain.com
  Documentroot /some/dir/ourdmain/htdocs
  ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/some/dir/ourdmain/cgi-bin/"
  ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/ourdomain/http_error.log
  CustomLog /var/log/httpd/ourdomain/http_access.log common
  </VirtualHost>
--- 1023,1033 ----
  </VirtualHost>
  
  <VirtualHost nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn>
! ServerName ourdomain.com
! ServerAlias *.ourdomain.com
  Documentroot /some/dir/ourdomain/htdocs
  ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/some/dir/ourdomain/cgi-bin/"
+ ScriptAlias /mailman/ "/home/mailman/cgi-bin/"
  ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/ourdomain/http_error.log
  CustomLog /var/log/httpd/ourdomain/http_access.log common
  </VirtualHost>

(Actually, it's broader than Mailman - without this change
http://ourdomain.com wasn't handled properly.)

I've got the "Host name this list prefers." set to 'ourdomain.com' and
"Base URL for Mailman web interface. The URL must end in a single "/". See
also the details for an important warning when changing this value." set to
'http://www.ourdomain.com/mailman/'.
