Mailman works very well on a Raq3i so I'm not sure you needed changes 
in the configuration files (and hope you don't have to make changes 
back). You have two issues here:

First, to protect your directory, you can just use an index.html or 
.htm page and that will help when combined with appropriate 
permissions.

Mailman has no index.cgi program in its package that I know of 
(unless they did something drastic to the script in the last couple 
of months!). The script is called directly. For example,

yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/mailman/mmprool.cgi

depending, of course, on where your file is and what version of the 
script you have (the above is for the pro script; the standard 
version has a name with st in it). Call THAT directly and see what 
happens.
