This error is due to improper installation of Mailman's crontab andhas nothing to do with your missing emails.
RedHat makes a crontab which they intend to be installed as/etc/cron.d/mailman. Thus, the crontab contains the userid (mailman) under which to run the command in field 6 and the command in field 7. You have installed this as the crontab for the mailman user. User crontab entries do not have the userid in field 6.
I think I have fixed this error. I checked and found a mailman cron file in /var/spool/cron (where user based files are stored). I deleted this file. I do have the other cron file /etc/cron.d/mailman. After deleting the user entry, the previous error has not reappeared.

Yes, the mail is delivered to Mailman. Its appearance in the archiveproves that. Your problem is why is mail from Mailman not getting out.

What's in Mailman's 'smtp' and 'smtp-failure' logs?
Are there entries in mailman's qfiles/out/, qfiles/retry/ and/orqfiles/shunt queue directories?
If there are entries in qfiles/shunt/, what's in Mailman's errorlog.
There is not an smtp-failure log. The smtp and error logs are here: smtp: Oct 22 16:01:44 2006 (5606) <mailman.0.1161550902.5604.mailman@server.ctrcc.com> smtp for 1 recips, completed in 0.465 seconds Oct 22 16:01:44 2006 (5606) <mailman.1.1161550902.5604.mailman@server.ctrcc.com> smtp for 1 recips, completed in 0.374 seconds Oct 22 16:02:02 2006 (5606) <mailman.1.1161550902.5604.mailman@server.ctrcc.com> smtp for 1 recips, completed in 0.342 seconds

More newbie questions. Where is ~/qfiles under version 2.1.5? I have not been able to find it. Is this the equivalent:
[root@server mailman]# pwd /var/spool/mailman [root@server mailman]# ll total 60 drwxrws--- 2 mailman mailman 12288 Oct 22 16:03 archive drwxrws--- 2 mailman mailman 4096 Oct 20 22:53 bounces drwxrws--- 2 mailman mailman 4096 Oct 20 23:14 commands drwxrws--- 2 mail mailman 20480 Oct 22 16:03 in drwxrws--- 2 mailman mailman 4096 Oct 20 22:53 news drwxrws--- 2 mailman mailman 4096 Oct 22 16:03 out drwxrws--- 2 mailman mailman 4096 Oct 20 22:53 retry drwxrws--- 2 mailman mailman 4096 Oct 20 22:53 shunt drwxrws--- 2 root mailman 4096 Oct 22 16:01 virgin
All of these directories are empty.
