Entries like the above are correct for /etc/cron.d/mailman. The 'mailman' in the 6th field is the name of the user under which to run the command.

And if you are going to add additional cron commands to that file, they have to be in the correct format for a system crontab. > Here are the contents of /var/spool/cron/mailman: > > drwxrws---. 2 mailman mailman 4096 Jun 2 14:45 archive > drwxrws---. 2 mailman mailman 4096 Jun 2 05:05 bounces > drwxrws---. 2 mailman mailman 4096 May 10 09:00 commands > drwxrws---. 2 mailman mailman 36864 Jun 10 09:00 in > drwxrws---. 2 mailman mailman 4096 May 9 09:50 news > drwxrws---. 2 mailman mailman 12288 Jun 10 09:00 out > drwxrws---. 2 mailman mailman 4096 May 9 09:50 retry > drwxrws---. 2 mailman mailman 28672 May 18 04:30 shunt > drwxrws---. 2 mailman mailman 28672 Jun 10 09:00 virgin > > I don't know how this might have been generated if it is supposed to be > empty. Just as a reminder I am using CentOS 6 with Apache 2.2.15. It is not supposed to be a directory, empty or not. What you have looks like a copy of mailman's queue directory which in RedHat/CentOS is /var/spool/mailman, or maybe you are showing me /var/spool/mailman and not /var/spool/cron/mailman -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
