Summary: cron failures are sent to mailman list

Initial Comment:
When a cronjob fails (e.g. nightly_gzip has a
permission problem), the output is sent to
mailman at localhost. However, mailman is by default a
mailing list (at least it was on my older Debian
system, I copied the /var/mailman/lists from there to a
new Fedora Core 3 installation). Since root is not on
the mailman list, I get "message awaits moderator
approval" messages.
Shouldn't the error go straight to root? For instance,
with a MAILTO=root directive in /etc/cron.d/mailman ?
