A post is delivered to the list named 'mailman'.

And that post is held because it is from a non-list-member and the list
is configured to hold non-member posts.

Go to the admindb interface for the 'mailman' list and see what the
posts are.

They are undoubtedly notifications of a cron error from
cron/senddigests caused be the same issue as as discussed in the
thread at
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2010-March/068962.html>.

If no one knows the admin or moderator password to log in to the
'mailman' admindb interface, see the FAQ at
<http://wiki.list.org/x/T4A9>.

Note that the 'mailman' list should be configured to accept non-member
posts for this and other reasons, or at least, the mailman crontab
should have a MAILTO= directive to direct error output to a person.
