Here my scenario.

On my server, I am setting up mailman.  The lists themselves work but 
the archives are not viewable. I keep getting 403 error and the 
error_log says:

Symbolic link not allowed: 
/var/www/lists.geeklog.net/archives/public/geeklog-devtalk, referer: 
http://lists.geeklog.net/listinfo/geeklog-devtalk

However, in my vhosts.conf I have this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerName lists.geeklog.net
     ServerAdmin webmaster@tonybibbs.com
     DocumentRoot /var/www/lists.geeklog.net/cgi-bin/
     Alias /icons/ /var/www/localhost/icons/
     Alias /pipermail/ /var/www/lists.geeklog.net/archives/public/
     <Directory "/var/www/lists.geeklog.net/archives/public/">
         Options FollowSymLinks
     </Directory>
     ScriptAlias / "/var/www/lists.geeklog.net/cgi-bin/"
     <Directory "/var/www/lists.geeklog.net/cgi-bin/">
         AllowOverride None
         Options None
         Order allow,deny
         Allow from all
     </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Is there a reason that my FollowSymLinks option might be getting ignored?
