It looks like apache is carping about not being able to find the mailman
docroot for localhost (IP addr: 127.0.0.1, usually!)

You then have the path set for the configuration of the IP host
lists.example.com in its own config file.

If you set DocumentRoot correctly in the config file for the localhost
webserver instance, it should do away with the annoying error message.

Many were increasingly of the opinion that they'd all made a big mistake
in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that
even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have
left the oceans. - HHGTTG
