I just installed Mailman yesterday, as I watch my system log, I see it running a cron job every 2minutes or more! is that really necessary? Or is there some way to scale that back a lil bit?
TIA, Rob

Mailman's cron entries would be along with everyone else's in the appropriate crontab directory, maybe /var/spool/cron. You can scale that back. What you're seeing is probably the qrunner. That's what delivers mail generated by mailman (and retries failed deliveries?).

Ok, let me clarify a little more (after looking through the crontab), is it necessary for qrunner to try resending every minute or can this be changed to once every 30 minutes?
Also, what is gated_news ? I found nothing in FAQ on that, it says it can be commented out, but what is it's purpose?
