My previous reply assumed that there had been successful posts to the
list that weren't archived, but the "Forbidden" in the subject may imply
that there have been no posts, but you are getting a 403 Forbidden
status from apache when attempting to go to the archives.

If this is the issue, the problem is probably that you have apache 2.4
and this

needs to be

Alias /pipermail/ /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/
<Directory /var/lib/mailman/archives/public>
    Options +FollowSymLinks
    Require all granted
</Directory>

If that isn't the answer, but the issue is 403 Forbidden, what's in
/var/log/apache2/lists-error.log?
