I am running Mailman version 2.1.8. I have most list set to delete held messages after 15 days (last setting on General Settings Page.) However it doesn't seem to be working? Is there something else that has to be done -- like a Cron Job enabled or something?

Yes, it relies on cron/checkdbs, but that should run daily unless you have modified (or not installed) Mailman's crontab.

In 2.1.8, the following crons should all be run

bumpdigests - periodically increment digest volume # checkdbs - send daily moderator request summary and delete old messages disabled - send reminders and disable bouncing users gate_news - gate from news to mail mailpasswds - send monthly password reminders nightly_gzip - gzip the periodig archive .txt files senddigests - send periodic digests
