I think you need

<Directory /usr/local/mailman/archives/public>
    Options +FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
  
in your httpd.conf. I suspect you have multiple virtual hosts and you
may have this where it applies to some, but not all hosts.

You need to have the above in a place where it applies globally, or you
need to have it in each VirtualHost section that has Mailman lists.
