should be fine as long as your servers domain name is "my-server-name"

In my installs I don't use the <Directory> directive to define Apache's
access for the local directories. I just have the ScriptAlias point
there.

Leave the ScriptAlias but comment out this stuff and then restart Apache
 <Directory  "/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin">
   AllowOverride       None
   Options     None
   Order       allow,deny
   Allow       from    all
 </Directory>

It may be that if you define the Directory that you must specify
"ExecCGI" in the Options statement (and not "None").

Good Luck - Jon Carnes
