It's from the "gate_news" cron job. If you're not gatewaying to a newsgroup, the right answer is probably "remove that cron job from mailman's crontab".

I just noticed the 5,131 copies of the following mail, sitting in mailman's mailbox (for some reason they didn't come to me).

I have no idea what this means.

Well, you *could* look around a bit; did you at least try looking for "gate_news" in all the Mailman sources? That would have given you a huge clue.

I'm using Mailman 1.1:

Subject: Cron <mailman@steed> /usr/bin/python /home/mailman/cron/gate_news
