OK guys -- thank you everyone BUT BUT

still no success I changed the entries in httpd.conf and restarted the server 
but still get the same result.

As a matter of curiosity I tried http://www.vizion2000.net/pipermail which 
simply gave me a page
Index of /pipermail
. Parent Directory

Following the link > Parent Directory took me to

http://www.vizion2000.net/

So we know the Alias pipermail line in httpd.conf is being read but we still 
get no further. It seems there must be something wrong with the httpd.conf so 
I am reposting it as it now stands:

   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

    #
    # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
    # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
    #   Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    #
    AllowOverride None

    #
    # Controls who can get stuff from this server.
    #
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
