However, mailman is by default a mailing list (at least it was on my older Debian system, I copied the /var/mailman/lists from there to a new Fedora Core 3 installation). Since root is not on the mailman list, I get "message awaits moderator approval" messages. Shouldn't the error go straight to root? For instance, with a MAILTO=root directive in /etc/cron.d/mailman ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1111321&group_id=103
