I am puzzled. I am sure this is coming from Mailman's cron/gate_news
script, but that is run (at least by default) every 5 minutes, not
every 10.

Did you upgrade Python to 2.4.3 after installing Mailman on an older
Python? If so, starting with 'configure' followed by 'make install'
may help.

If the warnings are coming from the cron jobs, you can suppress them by
editing Mailman's crontab and adding a '-W ignore' option to the
python commands.

E.g. for a default crontab, you might have something like

0 8 * * * /usr/bin/python -S /var/mailman/cron/checkdbs

and so on for the others. You could change this to

0 8 * * * /usr/bin/python -S -W ignore /var/mailman/cron/checkdbs

and similarly for the others.
