Re: [Mailman-Users] Problems sending mail to mailing list - UPDATE
@#$@#! The INSTALL file says to do a su to mailman. Looking in the crontab manual it says that's not a good idea. I see why now. The documentation for Mailman should be changed to read "crontab -u mailman crontab.in" and remove the su line. Thanks a ton Roger!

Worked fine for me.
Not that simple. My crontab utility doesn't have a '-u' switch.
It must be something with RedHat 6.2. That's what I am running anyhow. Personally I would have thought su'ing to the mainman user would have worked fine. Couldn't get mailman running on our Mandrake system because of the secure kernel. It was too much of a hassle.
