You're welcome! > Just one question: Where do you run gate_news? It's in the mailman cron job, the line was originally commented out, I uncommented it and when the cron daemon restarted at 4 am, it started working. # Every 5 mins, try to gate news to mail. You can comment this one out # if you don't want to allow gating, or don't have any going on right now, # or want to exclusively use a callback strategy instead of polling. 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /usr/bin/python2 -S /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/cron/gate_news (those last two lines are one line in the cron job file, my email program wraps it and your paths to python and gate_news will most likely be different) > My ISP has copied gate_news to /etc/cron.hourly so that cron can run it > each hour.

Ask them to look in the mailman cron job that runs the daily digests and pending admin item notices - it's originally in this: (serverpathto)/mailman/cron/crontab.in and the setup for Mailman includes installing that to the server's cron job folder as "mailman".

That's probably your problem, it may not be picking up the directory, you may need the full path to python and to gate_news too. The mailman cron job has the full path to both things. hth, texas critter -- EL-M FAQ: http://www.emaillist-managers.com/ ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
