Your cron jobs are probably mailing their error output to 'mailman'
which is the site list which probably doesn't accept the posts.

You need to either configure the 'mailman' site list to accept all posts
(in particular set generic_nonmember_action to Accept) and subscribe
yourself to the list, or add MAILTO=your_address to Mailman's crontab or
both.

Does it produce any output? If so, what? If not, are the lists'
send_reminders settings Yes and are the members' "Get password reminder
email for this list?" settings Yes?

It may be a permissions issue. try

sudo /usr/lib/mailman/bin/check_perms -f

Otherwise, what's in Mailman's 'error' log?
