The Fedora mailman package installs /etc/httpd/conf.d/mailman.conf,
which contains the right mailman config.  It should just work without
any twiddling.  If you do need to copy some of it into a particular
VirtualHost so that you can tweak it, it should serve as a good
starting point.

As far as the VirtualHost directive, I've got this on an older apache
server:

<VirtualHost *>
    ServerName          lists.example.com
    ServerAdmin         listman at example.com
    # redirect queries to / or /mailman to the listinfo page
    RedirectMatch       ^/(mailman[/]+)?$ http://lists.example.com/mailman/listinfo
</VirtualHost>

The settings from /etc/httpd/conf.d/mailman.conf take care of the
other details.

Also, ff you haven't already, take a look at the packages install doc
to make sure you've followed the needed setup steps:

    /usr/share/doc/mailman-2.1.9/INSTALL.REDHAT

(Mailman is one of those packages that needs some finishing work after
the package is installed.)
