You have installed a "system" crontab as the mailman user's crontab.

The crontab you installed is designed to be put in a file in
/etc/cron.d/ (e.g. /etc/cron.d/mailman). Thus it has an extra field
between the days/times and the command which contains the userid
(mailman) under which the command is to be run.

If you install it in /var/spool/cron/ via the crontab command, you have
to remove the mailman userid field from between the times and the
commands.
