[Mailman-Users] Cron Dameon msgs re: qrunner

[Jon Carnes]

Uhhh, you should remove that cron entry.  Mailman version 2.1 does not use a
cron activated qrunner instead it runs a daemon called Mailmanctl.

In the upgrade instructions it tells you to remove the old cron entries
before putting in the new cron entries.  BTW, why are you running the
mailman crons as root (as opposed to the more secure user "mailman")?

Feel free to read the files README, INSTALL, and UPGRADE (in the main source
directory), they will be of considerable help to you.
