I also made sure that the mailman user home is changed to /usr/local/mailman2. I temporarily gave the user a login shell and then did `crontab -e` to change the paths in the crontab file. However I am getting cron errors, and they are referring to the old path (/usr/local/mailman) as opposed to mailman2.

You mentioned editing mailman's crontab, but what about system crontabs in /etc/cron.d/? And if you are running Mailman's crons from both Mailman's crontab and a system crontab, this is a mistake.

Use one or the other, not both. crontab -e only edits /var/cron/tabs/$username in FreeBSD. There is no other crontab for mailman other than /var/cron/tabs/mailman. I have searched. Still confused. I did: su - mailman cd /usr/local/mailman2/cron && crontab crontab.in And it installed the same file. Where the old path still comes from has left me confused. How do I run the crontab entries in debug mode to see what they are doing? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 "Oh, the cruft.", egrep -v '^$|^.*#' :-) -- Mailman-Users mailing list -- mailman-users@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-users-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.python.org/ Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/ https://mail.python.org/archives/list/mailman-users@python.org/

[Mailman-Users] admins post to a list held for moderation
Hi, I am seeing post to Mailman2 lists being held for moderation yet they are sent by an admin of that list. I cannot fathom why. Max recipients is set to 10 and its only 3 lists at once in this case. What other things can I check on that might be causing this please?
