In Apache:

Alias /pipermail/ /path/to/archives/public/
<Directory "/path/to/archives/public">
    Options +FollowSymLinks
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

$ ls -ld archives/p*
drwxrws--x 18 root mailman 4096 Feb 28 06:47 archives/private
drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 4096 Jan 12 17:02 archives/public

The owner (root) is not important. the group is Mailman's group and may or may not be 'mailman' (e.g. on a debian/ubuntu package install, it is 'list')

If archives/private is not o+x, then the owner of archives/private must be the web server user whatever that is - i.e. the web server user must be able to search in archives/private.
