RE: [Mailman-Users] Upgrade from 2.0x to 2.1
Hmmm, the earlier RPM install must be running cron jobs as a different user? I've removed crontab entries for mailman but the messages are still flowing. How can trace this back to the correct user?
Thanks, David

I've done as you suggested but I keep getting the following messages every few minutes:

David,
This will get your cron jobs reset.
Remember, they are running as user 'mailman'.
as root or mailman user, run:
crontab -u mailman -r crontab -u mailman mailman_dir/cron/crontab.in
The first command will remove all the mailman cron jobs. The second will put in just the 2.1 cron jobs.
Note that your "mailman_dir" may be /var/local/mailman (or something else), instead of the default source install of /usr/local/mailman.

I'm getting errors generated after upgrading from 2.0x to 2.1. I think its related to Cfron jobs being scheduled to run. Both installs of Mailman were done via RPM. I'm guessing that the latest RPM didn't take care of the Cron jobs? Any hints on cleaning this up? I've been through the UPGRADE doc.
