This is not a problem. If you look at the cron jobs that you faithfully put in for Mailman you will see that one of them is specific to gating mail over to a news server. Comment this particular script out of the cron (then uncomment it later should you change your mind about News servers!).
The error simply says that the script tried to attach to a local News server and couldn't find one. When you said that your users were not getting notifications, did you mean that they weren't getting notifications that their mail was being held (ie moderated). If so, then check the Web-Admin settings.
