I installed mailman3 and imported an existing setup using mailman2 mostly
successfuly.
One provlem I am still facing is that the daily cron jobs do not work. I get
email from cron daemon like e.g.
Subject: Cron <root@foo> list if [ -x /usr/bin/mailman ]; then /usr/bin/mailman
digests --periodic; fi
/bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: "then" unexpected
Looking at /etc/cron.d/mailman3, the relevant lines are:
# At 12AM, send mail digests for lists that do periodic as well as threshold
delivery
0 12 * * * list if [ -x /usr/bin/mailman ]; then /usr/bin/mailman
digests --periodic; fi
It seems crontab uses ; as a separator and this breaks the command, Instead,
the entire command should be quoted and run with /bin/sh -c
The same applies to the other job in this file.
