Hmmm, the earlier RPM install must be running cron jobs as a different user? I've removed crontab entries for mailman but the messages are still flowing. How can trace this back to the correct user?

Remember, they are running as user 'mailman'. as root or mailman user, run: crontab -u mailman -r crontab -u mailman mailman_dir/cron/crontab.in The first command will remove all the mailman cron jobs. The second will put in just the 2.1 cron jobs. Note that your "mailman_dir" may be /var/local/mailman (or something else), instead of the default source install of /usr/local/mailman.
