The file /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/maillist1.mbox/maillist1.mbox
does not exist on your server.

Do the HTML archives in /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/maillist1/ exist?

Does the directory /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/maillist1.mbox
exist? (probably not - I think if it did, Mailman would create a new
/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/maillist1.mbox/maillist1.mbox file).

Figure out what happened to the missing files and restore them. Then you
can run Mailman's 'bin/unshunt' to add the missing messages to the
archive, but first look at Mailman's shunt queue (bin/show_qfiles will
help) to make sure everything there is wanted.
