Hm, that only redirects the output of qrunner to /dev/nul. I get still
an entry like this:

/USR/SBIN/CRON[3974]: (mailman) CMD (/usr/bin/python -S
/home/mailman/cron/qrunner)

I know that I can switch this line off by a leading '-' in crontab.
But this works for root only and the script is invoked as mailman...
