You need to install the cron jobs found in cron/crontab.in (path relative to
your Mailman installation prefix).

Conventional wisdom also has the qrunner process running as a daemon, but in
my system I have it set to do a once-per-minute cron job with a line like this:

* * * * * /usr/bin/python -S /path-to-mailman/bin/qrunner --once -r All

("All" is case-sensitive!)

Note that this cron job is in the mailman user's personal crontab, NOT the
system (root) crontab.

This reduces CPU consumption on servers such as mine where list traffic is
light.
