I recently installed mailman 2.1.9-2 via RPM on Fedora Core 6.

Everything seems to be working fine except every 5 minutes I receive the
following error via my mailman list:

"Illegal command: /usr/lib/mailman/cron/gate_news"

root is sending it.

/usr/lib/mailman/cron/gate_news/ has the same permissions as the other cron
jobs in //usr/lib/mailman/cron/

I edited /usr/lib/mailman/cron/crontab.in/, commenting out what I thought
the offending line was:

"0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * mailman
/usr/lib/mailman/cron/gate_news"
to
"# 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * mailman
/usr/lib/mailman/cron/gate_news"

After editing the file, I restart mailman as root, so the cron permissions
are all correct.

But I still receive the error.

Any help would be much appreciated, the same E-mail every 5 minutes is
getting awfully annoying.
