Dear list,
I have a question about what mailman does when the following log appears into /var/log/maillog.
---/var/log/maillog--- Feb 15 12:00:04 xxx postfix/pickup[6279]: 244811C805C: uid=41 from=<mailman> Feb 15 12:00:04 xxx postfix/cleanup[21529]: 244811C805C: message-id=<20100215030004.244811C805C@example.com> Feb 15 12:00:04 xxx postfix/qmgr[20068]: 244811C805C: from=<mailman@example.com>, size=1728, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Feb 15 12:00:04 xxx postfix/local[21232]: 244811C805C: to=<mailman@example.com>, orig_to=<mailman>, relay=local, delay=0.17, delays=0.05/0/0/0.12, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to command: /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman)
At the moment the above messages logged, nothing is operated (no mail send to mailman@example.com from mailman@example.com manually), however, this message happens at the almost same time every noon as follows.

According to the time of the log, it seems that this is related to either of the cron jobs specified in /etc/cron.d/mailman(senddigests of ate_news). But I dont get what is exactly going on nor what kind of mail send to the mailman@example.com(how can I verify it?).
Could anyone in this list provide comments/suggestions please?
-Environment OS:RHEL5 postfix-2.3.3-2.1.el5_2 mailman-2.1.9-4.el5
Sincerely,
