First of all, output from Mailman's crons (errors) is probably sent to
the mailman user which is actually the mailman site list. You should
ensure that your 'mailman' list has the site admins subscribed and
accepts non-member posts.

You may also wish to set MAILTO= in Mailman's crontab to send that mail
to an admin.

That said, cron writes a log. I'm not sure where the log might be in
cPanel, but maybe /var/log/cron or the 'CRON' entries in /var/log/syslog.
