Dear list,

I have a question about what mailman does when the following
log appears into /var/log/maillog.

---/var/log/maillog---
Feb 15 12:00:04 xxx postfix/pickup[6279]: 244811C805C: uid=41 from=<mailman>
Feb 15 12:00:04 xxx postfix/cleanup[21529]: 244811C805C:
message-id=<20100215030004.244811C805C at example.com>
Feb 15 12:00:04 xxx postfix/qmgr[20068]: 244811C805C:
from=<mailman at example.com>, size=1728, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Feb 15 12:00:04 xxx postfix/local[21232]: 244811C805C:
to=<mailman at example.com>, orig_to=<mailman>, relay=local, delay=0.17,
delays=0.05/0/0/0.12, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to command:
/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman)

At the moment the above messages logged, nothing is operated
(no mail send to mailman at example.com from mailman at example.com manually),
however, this message happens at the almost same time every noon
as follows.

mailman: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman"

According to the time of the log, it seems that this is related to either
of the cron jobs specified in /etc/cron.d/mailman(senddigests of ate_news).
But I dont get what is exactly going on nor what kind of mail send to
the mailman at example.com(how can I verify it?).

Could anyone in this list provide comments/suggestions please?

-Environment
OS:RHEL5
postfix-2.3.3-2.1.el5_2
mailman-2.1.9-4.el5


Sincerely,
