[Mailman-Users] going nowhere?!

[Jon Carnes]

I believe you will need to install the crontab for the user "mailman". 
If you do an "rpm -qi mailman" you should be able to read the notes from
the folks who packaged the rpm.  Most times they will point you to items
you need to do on your own.

BTW: FAQ 3.14 should also be helpful.
