[Mailman-Users] Why won't Mailman send mail?

Okay, I followed the FAQ on why mailman won't send email to users.  The
big thing I noticed is that in /etc/passwd, the mailman account has a
default shell of /bin/false, is that supposed to be?  Also, there's no
home folder for the mailman user, so I can't check on the cron jobs.
Should I assume that, with no cron jobs running, no mail is going out?  

Aside from that here's a copy of /var/mail/maillog concerning my recent
attempt to send an email to the list, is this any help with figuring out
why I can't get list mail sent?
