What file are you changing? If you are changing Mailman's cron/crontab.in, that will have no effect until you do crontab cron/crontab.in either as the mailman user or as root with the -u option. Note that if your Mailman is installed from a package, it might be using a 'system' crontab. You should check if the actual mailman crontab is a user crontab in /var/spool/cron/mailman or a system crontab in some place like /etc/cron.d/mailman. If it is a user crontab, you can list it, edit it or install it from a file using the crontab command (see man crontab). If it is a system crontab, you have to edit it directly and it will also have an additional field for the user to run as between the days/times fields and the command. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
