Yes, that's exactly what I mean.

We do not put it there. It was put there by whoever created the Mailman
package (rpm, port, whatever) that you installed because it was
intended to be installed in a file in /etc/cron.d and not by the
crontab command.

Also, it is not a command. Files in /etc/cron.d, do not belong to a
specific user, so they need an extra field for the userid under which
to run. That's what the 'mailman' is in this file.
