cron is encountering errors and trying to mail them to the owner of the crontab which is [EMAIL PROTECTED] These mails from cron are being delivered to the 'mailman' list as posts and the list is not accepting them. >What did I do wrong? There may be permission issues or something else causing the cron errors. You have to see the email which will report the response from the command cron is running. The email actually may be attached to the reject notice, but it would be better to put [EMAIL PROTECTED] at the top of mailman's crontab to get the cron errors mailed to you directly. >I've just load contab.in in crontab -umailman >What will happents If I stop cron for mailman? None of the periodic jobs such as sending digests, sending pending request reminders, sending monthly password reminders, gzipping the archive text files, etc will be run. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
